Edwin Acevedo

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 use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

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

I will spend at least 2 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 3 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will spend 1 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.
