Nichole Boehmke

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

I will replace 25 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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 spend 15 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will spend 60 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.
