Haley Miller

I will host a house party with 5 friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

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

I will replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will watch 3 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.
