Suzette Heathcote

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 15 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

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

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.
