Seraiah Belfon

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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

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

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

I will spend 250 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will spend 300 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will spend at least 250 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

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.
