Outreach Materials and Resources

Reaching Our Goals Together

Make your own Earth Commitment by using the following resources to reduce your environmental impact.

WHAT GOES WHERE – ONLINE GUIDE

Athens Services’ What Goes Where interactive recycling guide features over 350 items and acts as the go-to resource for correctly reducing, reusing, recycling, composting, and disposing of unwanted waste material. Visit CanIRecycleMy.com.

REUSE: REPURPOSE, REPAIR, DONATE

Before you recycle, first consider reuse! Many unwanted, still usable items could have a second life if given the chance. Athens has compiled a list of reuse options including DIY activities; donation options; repair shops; thrift stores; and online giveaway, swap, or sell sites. Visit AthensServices.com/MaterialReuse.

Beware of Greenwashing. Ensure environmental claims are not misleading, including standardizing the marketing use of “compostable,” “biodegradable,” and “recyclable.”

Measure Your Footprint

Reduce Your Environmental Impact

Climate and Waste Calculators


It’s important for all of us to take action to reduce our environmental impact. From purchases to traveling, all of our behavior has a significant effect on our communities and the planet.

Calculating your ecological footprint will help you track and better understand how positive daily actions at home and in the workplace can reduce carbon usage. To assist you with this process, we recommend the following calculators for both individuals and businesses. These sites include helpful tips and tools you can utilize to create a gentler footprint:
