Jessica's actions
Week 1 Focus: Recycling and Composting
Recycle Plastic Bags
Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 50 plastic bags by bringing them to a drop-off.
Belongings
Do Less Laundry
I will not wash my clothes after every wear to increase the life of my clothing.
Food
Properly Store Food
I will store food and organize my fridge based on best practices to prevent food from spoiling before it is used.
Food
Be Smart About Food Labels
I will learn about food labels and not throw food out just based on date on the package, but instead check the smell and color to see if it has gone bad.
Food
Eat Food Before it Spoils
My household of 1 will prioritize eating foods that may spoil soon.
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.
At Home
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.
At Home
Recycle Scrap Metal
Instead of trashing it, I will recycle scrap metal by bringing it to a drop-off.
Week 1 Focus: Recycling and Composting
Find Local Recycling Drop-Off Centers
I will find out where to take the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
Week 1 Focus: Recycling and Composting
No More Wish-cycling
I will recycle the right materials by educating myself on what goes in the bin and keep other things out.
