AMY DIAZ

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

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.

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

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cups to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 6 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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.
