De-Clutter My Home
I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.
At Home
Hold the Mail
I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

Eat Food Before it Spoils
My household of 3 will prioritize eating foods that may spoil soon.

Needs vs. Wants
I will adopt a "Needs vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

At Home
Switch to Reusable Napkins and Towels
My household of 3 will use reusable napkins and towels instead of disposable options.

Complete a Waste Audit
I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compostables - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.
