Sustainability is much more than simply recycling.

Sustainable living starts well before material recovery or disposal; it’s rooted in the conscious choices we make every day.

Refuse

Cut down on waste by rejecting single-use items and unnecessary freebies like plastic bags, water bottles, samples, and swag bags. Resist the allure of ‘free’ and choose only what you truly need or value.

Reduce

In our culture of over-consumption, it’s crucial to pause and reflect: Is this purchase necessary? What’s the origin, material, and end life? Opt for eco-friendly, non-toxic, ethically-made, and reusable products.

Before purchasing an item, consider its end-of-life. Prior to disposing an item, ask yourself whether there is another alternative.

Reuse

Extend the life of items by repairing broken or worn objects when possible, repurposing them, or gifting/donating. Like the saying goes, “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.”

Recycle

Although important, recycling should be our last resort. Recyclability, access, and other obstacles can make recycling a difficult process. We cannot recycle our way out of the waste crisis our planet is facing.

Rot

Composting might not seem like the right fit at first, but there are more options than you think. With food waste contributing heavily to emissions, it’s crucial to keep it out of landfills.

Plastic

Less than 10% of plastic is recycled, with most ending up in landfills or littering every corner of the earth. And production continues to climb.

Paper

Despite being the most recycled material in the country, paper makes up 12% of landfill waste. High levels of single-use paper consumption are a big factor.

It takes all of us.
