3. 1. EAT LESS
MEAT
Why? One pound of beef
requires 2,500 gallons
of water. In comparison,
one pound of soy
requires 250 gallons of
water, and one pound of
wheat requires 25
gallons.

4. 2. BUY LOCAL
PRODUCE
Why? Consuming local
produce reduces your
footprint. Take the
footprint quiz at

footprintcalculator/.

5. 3. END JUNK
MAIL
How? Websites like
DMAchoice and Catalog
Choice help you opt out
of unwanted mail, which
accounts for 100 million
trees cut down each
year.

6. 4. STOP USING
DISPOSABLE
PRODUCTS
Why? Only about 10% of
the 300 million tons of
plastic produced each
year are properly
recycled or reused.

7. 5. START
COMPOSTING
Why? One billion pounds
of food are thrown out
every year.
