Nicole Campbell

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

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

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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 switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

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

I will spend at least 120 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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 adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.
