We can divest completely from the fossil fuel industry, or any others that support unsustainable practices!

Simplicity
Research Impact Investing
Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.
Simplicity
De-Clutter My Home
I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

Simplicity
Meditate
I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

Learn About & Practice Sustainable Fashion

Waste
Go Paperless
I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Learn About & Practice Sustainable FashionHow can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?
Bill Crawford 10/22/2019 4:16 PMRepairing clothes with great patches and buttons is one way, I think.
Trading and swapping is also a good way to freshen up a wardrobe without buying new products.
It's important to maintain what we have and only buy new if absolutely necessary.

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Research Impact InvestingHow might impact investing help you better live your values?
Bill Crawford 10/22/2019 4:10 PMImpact investing guarantees that my investments won't perpetuate more ecological devastation and instead works to improve conditions. These are the things I try to do with my daily life. Investments should be the same! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Go PaperlessReducing your paper mail can be such a freeing action to take -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?
Bill Crawford 10/16/2019 3:46 PMIt's important to reduce as much as we can in any way we can. Even though recycling is important and effective to reducing our impact on the environment, not having the thing to recycle in the first place is even better. Reduce is greater than reuse or recycle! It feels good to do something even more. I'm hoping soon to use just one trash pickup per month. It's going to be hard, but we'll get there. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity De-Clutter My HomeHow can you prevent yourself from accumulating more things in the future?
Bill Crawford 10/02/2019 3:50 PMDe-cluttering is an ongoing, uphill battle in my household of 5. Sometimes there is a lot of resistance not only from me. I find it satisfying to suddenly be able to see my home office desk again!
