We are the First Community College in the nation to be Salmon Safe Certified. Our first phase has started and when completed, we will be saving 2million gallons of runoff, from our parking lots, from going directly into the creeks, streams, and rivers. I have been part of this project from the start and now it's becoming reality.

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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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 not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.
