Christi Hodgson

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will install a greywater catchment system in my home.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will spend 45 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will work from home 2 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

Access to public transportation is a social justice issue! I will learn about the need for public transportation in my community and tell 50 friends each day about the issue.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

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 collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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