Megan's actions
Action Track: Community
Recycling
I recycled a huge bag of batteries today.
Action Track: Community
Volunteer in my Community
I will volunteer 4 hours in my community.
Freshwater + Oceans
Dishwasher Efficiency
Hand washing dishes can use more energy and hot water than a dishwasher. To save water, I will use a dishwasher and scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
Land + Forests
Borrow Before I Buy
Why buy something I will only use once or a few times if someone nearby has it for me to borrow, and why not share something I have that someone may only need a few times a year? To reduce my consumption and waste, I will create or support the sharing economy with friends, family, colleagues or neighbors.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

Bre McCormick 4/24/2024 8:13 AMThat's a great question! I was always under the impression you had to throw them away but after some research it appears you are supposed to drop them off at a hazardous waste facility where I believe they can recycle parts of them.
