Adrien van Dyke (she/her)

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

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about green gentrification and how it relates to city planning for climate action.

I will give 1 microloan(s) to women who need help starting a business.

I will avoid buying and using 2 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

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

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.
