MARIA ALBULESCU

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will volunteer 15 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

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

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will take a 60-minute walk outside each day.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Global warming is such a big issue. I want to learn more and understand the urgency of the problem and ways to help.
