Talita Paganini

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will walk 2 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 48.23 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
