Natalie's actions
Water
5-Minute Showers
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
Waste
Learn About & Practice Sustainable Fashion
I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.
Waste
Prevent Recycling Contamination
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
Waste
Reduce Single-Use Disposables
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.

Natalie Pierson 4/30/2020 4:21 PMI resisted ordering take-out today! I snacked on fruit and home-made applesauce instead of ordering fast-food delivery. Both healthier and better for the environment :) -
Natalie Pierson 4/25/2020 9:32 PMSince I've been at home, it has been considerably easier to reduce single-use plastics than on a college campus. This really goes to show how wasteful college dining can be in terms of plastic waste. -
Natalie Pierson 4/24/2020 9:45 PMI started checking off the 5-minute shower challenge on days that I am not showering. Not showering everyday in itself saves a lot of water am I right? ;) -
Natalie Pierson 4/23/2020 11:08 AMFor the shower in 5 minutes challenge, I only got to 9 minutes. However, I still feel it was an accomplishment because I reduced my shower time and still saved considerable amounts of water :)
