"Hello. My name is Cori and I... am a tree hugger. Some may think this to be a bad thing but I believe that being mindful of our impact on the planet that sustains our lives SHOULD be an important part of everyone's daily life. I'm not an extremist but I do what I can to minimize my footprint."
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.
I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
