EMILY KEMPER

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 5 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

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).

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 10 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will work from home 4 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 15 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
