I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

Our company does not have an ink cartridge recycling program. Instead of letting the FH used ink cartridges hit the land fill, I will ask that they be given to me for proper recycling at Office Max. Office Max gives $2 in store credit per ink cartridge (if you spend $10 within a month). You just have to set up a rewards account with them. Easy peasy!

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.
