April Earth Month Waste Reduction Challenge
In honor of Earth Day (April 22), this month’s challenge focuses on reducing waste—small changes can make a big environmental impact. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers several ideas for reducing, reusing, and recycling at home, work, and in the community.
This month we challenge you to take an intentional step to reduce waste. Self-report what you did using the online form by Monday, April 27, 2026, to earn a FREE ticket for the prizes at the Health & Wellness Day (Friday, May 1, 2026, 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., Public Safety Building, EOC). Attendance is required to claim your ticket.
