Susan Gibbs

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will keep 6 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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 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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
