Heather Silverman

I will replace 10 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 10 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will volunteer 5 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

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

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

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