Indigo Truitt

I will plant 5 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will spend 20 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will spend at least 30 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

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.

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