Watch a Documentary
I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

Recycle Brita filters
I have been collecting Brita filters for years. I will finally send them in to be recycled
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
sock recycle
Several shoe stores are collecting worn out socks to recycle. I would love to donate over 30 old unwearable socks
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
De-Clutter My Home
I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.
