I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, neighbors or classmates.

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

I will take a 15-minute walk outside 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 learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Ask your Eco Rep if you do not know!

Check out @uvmecoreps for recommendations. Buying second hand helps you find unique pieces that would other go to the landfills.

Repair your clothes or other broken items to avoid throwing it in the landfill and to give it a new personal touch.

Stay safe and don't ride on the sidewalk if you can help it. Ride with the flow of traffic in bike lanes on the road. Take the bike path to the causeway in Colchester!
