Gabriel Roman

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

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will source 2 meal(s) each day from local producers.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work, on campus and/or in the spaces I frequent.

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.
