Carly Harper

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

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset 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.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
