Megan Callis

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will take a walk outside for 15 minutes each day.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will spend 20 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home or dorm room.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will watch 5 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

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

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
