Mary's actions
Waste
Use a Reusable Mug
I will avoid sending disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
Food
Try a New Way to Prep
I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
Create Your Own Action
Think non-motorized
I have a car but I will minimize use of it for short trips. I will also link trips whenever possible for errands. I will bike out for groceries on Saturday morning.
Waste
Use a Reusable Water Bottle
I will keep disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
Simplicity
Research My Investment Portfolio
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).
Waste
Use Reusable Bags
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
Waste
Recycle Everything I Can
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.
Waste
Choose Two-Sided Printing
I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.
Transportation
Work from Home
I will work from home day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.
Food
Plant an Herb Garden
I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.
Simplicity
Research Impact Investing
Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.
