No Recycling in the Garbage
I pledge not to throw any recyclable or redeemable items in the garbage whether at home, at work or away.
Zero Waste
Be Water Wise
I pledge to be water wise and will not waste water in my home, in my yard and garden, and where I work and recreate.
Remove Your Garbage Disposal
I pledge to remove my in-sink garbage disposal because food scraps should never go down the drain.
Plan Zero Waste Events
I pledge to plan zero waste events that rely on washing and reusing everything and avoiding anything that’s single use or made from plastic.
Redeem Deposit Containers
I pledge to redeem all deposit bottles and cans I buy, or otherwise use, at redemption centers to ensure they are recycled.
BYO Takeout Container
I pledge to go zero waste takeout by bringing my own reusable container and will inform the restaurant when I place my order so they can accommodate my request.
No Single-Use Food Storage Bags
I pledge to not buy any single-use food storage bags to help transition to a plastic-free lifestyle.
Buy Plastic-Free Produce
I pledge to not buy any produce packaged in plastic mesh, plastic clam shells, or wrapped in plastic film. I will buy loose produce instead.
Reuse Aluminum Foil
I pledge to reuse aluminum foil by washing it – soaking if necessary to soften baked-on food – and drip drying it, then folding or rolling it to be stored until next time.
No Single-Use Sweeper Pads
I will not buy or use single-use, disposable sweeper pads – wet or dry – since they create unnecessary household waste. I will buy and use reusable, washable sweeper pads instead to go zero waste.
