Mikaela Sturz

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

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

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
