Landon Beutler

My goal is to only fill my plate with what I can eat. This makes it so none of my food goes to the landfill or even compost. This aims to waste less and be more realistic with my resources.

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.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

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

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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