I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 1 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and deterimine if it is right for me.

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 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.
