Marissa Redding

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will work from home 30 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
