Bailey Benson

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

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

Try a new, local, healthy food item; the closer to the natural source, the better. Bonus if it is a food item that would normally be wasted.

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

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace, dorm, or elsewhere on campus.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will walk 2 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
