I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
Energy
Switch to Cold Water
I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.
Waste
Find Local Recycling Depots
I will spend at least 11 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
Waste
Learn About & Practice Sustainable Fashion
I will spend 21 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.
Waste
Recycle Everything I Can
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Waste
Use Reusable Bags
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
