Recycle Everything I Can
#55 Household Recycling
I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
Materials
Eliminate Toxic Plastics
#47 Bioplastic
I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.
Materials
Go Paperless
#70 Recycled Paper
I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

Marilyn Dedrick 4/17/2019 7:29 AMIt is challenging especially when traveling-
Leola Specht 4/17/2019 7:48 AMWe pack our own food for travels in reusable containers -- we find it healthier, cheaper and less to throw away. I agree though about travelling - for example, only certain things are allowed through security at the ariport and if you're travelling multiple days it hard to make and bring your own stuff!
