Lauren Acoba

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will spend at least 1 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
