Patrick Laux

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

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 advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will keep 1 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 purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.
