Maggie Ahearn

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 3 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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