Alli Icenogle

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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 save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

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