Nathaniel's actions
Community
Express My Support
I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.
High Impact Action Track
Learn About Local Environmental Justice Concerns
Health
I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
Transportation
Stay on the Ground
Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
Transportation
Go by Bike
I will commute by bike 5 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 4.12 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
Waste
Compost Food Waste
I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 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.
Waste
Use a Reusable Mug
I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Go by BikeHow do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience differ while walking, riding transit, biking, or driving?
Nathaniel Whitlock 10/17/2019 9:02 AMWhen walking, or biking to work I notice quite a few more subtle things which I would otherwise overlook when driving to work.-
Kathy Hall 10/20/2019 8:47 AMI also find that I run into old friends and neighbors, and take the time to talk and catch up a bit when on foot or bike. It really helps build community
