Grace Magott

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

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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 learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

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 spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
