Michelle Checkis

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 120 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will raise money to support Ecochallenge.org or another nonprofit.

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

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

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

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.
