1. Compost; The volume of coffee grounds that my wife and I produce are by themselves significant, can be used for soil, and would be ruinous to a landfill. But other food waste as well. Half of my landfill waste has been diverted to landfills.
2. Conscientious recycling. Grocery stores recycle plastic bags (LDPE) and it's a trip I make anyway. I've introduced other people to metal recycling for old electronics, car parts, dehumidifiers -- and they're excited to turn non profit, corporate, and my car used parts waste into donations back to the non profit. I'm also that annoying friend / family member that tries to collect all of the aluminum cans at parties.
3. I've started investing in a couple green ventures each year via StartEngine over the last 3 years. Terracycle US is the only one paying dividends so far, but feeling like an owner of that is rewarding every time i see a new product that works with terracycle.
