Here are 10 things do to make your Eco Footprint smaller:
Litter-Free:
1. Adopt-A-Spot at School & in your Neighborhood to keep litter-free—ask for trash &
recycle bins if needed at school, in the park or in front of businesses.
2. Litter Bag in car, daypack for walking/biking—take your trash home if no trashcans
3. At home—Tie up or cover your trash so it doesn’t blow down the street.
Precycle: Refuse-Reduce-Reuse-Recycle:
4. Use cloth bags, towels & napkins and reusable containers instead of plastic or paper
5. Drink & Carry tap water, not bottled—reusable, cheaper & healthier
6. Choose organic, locally grown vegetables and fruits. Eat less meat and dairy. Join a
CSA, Shop Farmers’ Markets, Grow a garden—less packaging & energy, healthier!
