Dylan Emery

I will spend at least 10 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will keep 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.
