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 keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

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