Before disposing of items, I will check recyclesmartma.org to find out whether it can be recycled or needs to go in the trash. I'll do this once every work day during the challenge.

I will spend 30 minutes unsubscribing from unnecessary email lists and deleting old emails to reduce digital storage.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about nonprofits in my area that tackle sustainability and waste challenges that I could get involved with.

Leave No Trace means enjoying nature responsibly by minimizing our impact and leaving the environment as we found it, or better. I will spend 10 minutes learning about the seven core principles to minimize my impact while enjoying the outdoors.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 2. Doing so will prevent 0.34 pounds of food per household member from entering the landfill.

I will pack waste-free or low-waste snacks (e.g., fruit, homemade snacks, bulk snacks in reusable containers) when I'm on-the-go, instead of buying individually packaged items.
