Emily Ellingworth

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the EcoChallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 5 friends, family and/or colleagues.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.
