Capucine VALTON

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 20 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will spend at least 15 minute(s) researching how people can build with carbon-storing materials - including agricultural byproducts - and discuss it with my peers or post to social media.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day or 450 gallons (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

Planet Money recently interviewed the co-founders of Tradewater to learn about the dangerous impact that old refrigerants have on our environment. I will listen to the podcast to learn more about this necessary solution in fighting a climate crisis.

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

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

I will avoid buying and using 6 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.
