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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 4 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will host a house party with 2 friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.
