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 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.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straws out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cups to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
