I will avoid sending food waste to the landfill by composting my food scraps.

I will keep 3 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I will recycle 3 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.
