Alexa Pierce

I will spend 10 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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 avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
