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 spend at least 60 minutes learning more about the environmental services provided by and the environmental issues affecting temperate forests.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
