Eoin Gilmour

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will source 10 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

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

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 at least 30 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
