Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will not eat anymore red meat in my meals.

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

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
