Sam DiMeglio

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will replace 15 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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 walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 0.67 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

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 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

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 watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
