Maren Wyatt

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will spend 120 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

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

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will learn about and update the power saving settings on my computer to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission

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 calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

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