Kylee's actions
Waste
Visit a Waste Management Facility
I will spend at least 240 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.
Water
Say No to Plastic Straws
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.
Nature
Go for a Daily Walk
I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.
Simplicity
Less Screen Time
I will replace 120 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.
Water
5-Minute Showers
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
Food
Reduce Animal Products
I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
