Amanda Chaffe

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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 adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.
