Sydney Lang

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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

I will commute by carpool 12 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

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

I will create a petition to increase subsidies to help communities and small businesses convert to renewables and send it to an elected official.
