I will complete a plastics audit to see where plastics show up in my life and determine how I can reduce the use of single-use plastics.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions, and opting out of junk mail.

I will avoid buying and using 2 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

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, including electronics and metals.

As a team goal, we would like to challenge everyone to try a lower carbon footprint alternative way to commute to work at least once a week. Consider public transit, cycling or carpooling! Did you know? UBC carpool drivers can earn up to $2 per day on their UBCcard if they use the Liftango app and pick-up at least one person on their way to and from campus. Link below.

As a team goal, we would like to encourage everyone to try at least one plant-based dinner a week.
