Emmanuel Niyoyabikoze

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

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

I will spend 240 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will offer to help 6 person(s) who are in need each day.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.
