Maggie Hillyer

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community while observing best practices in my region for not spreading COVID-19.

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 keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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 complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will volunteer 2 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

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