Meg OBrien

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 watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 3 gallons (11 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will use the resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.
