Earth Day is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to protect Mother Earth. At CalRecycle, we know that building a cleaner, more sustainable California starts at home, with simple actions that make a real difference.
This Earth Day, we’re highlighting a few easy ways Californians can reduce waste, conserve resources, and protect the environment we all share:
Recycle Your Kitchen Scraps: Put food scraps in the curbside green bin, from eggshells and vegetable peels to leftover bones and spoiled produce. This creates compost to feed our soils and reduces greenhouse gases that cause droughts and wildfires.
Turn In Beverage Containers: Recycling eligible containers like aluminum cans and wine bottles saves energy, reduces litter and greenhouse gas emissions, and puts cash back in your pocket.
Power Your Home More Efficiently: Switching to LED bulbs, unplugging unused devices, or opting for renewable sources of energy can significantly reduce energy waste and contribute to less pollution.
Make Every Drop Count: Fixing a leaky faucet, choosing drought-tolerant landscaping, or taking shorter showers conserves this vital resource, helping protect the water we drink.
Shop Smarter, Waste Less: Prioritizing locally sourced goods, buying reusable products, and reducing food spoilage all contribute to a healthier environment. These individual choices, when multiplied, create profound collective change.
