Thomas Burley

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 8.04 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend at least 80 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 7 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.
