Maryl Fisher

Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will work from home 5 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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 write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 20 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

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

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

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