Kelly Hansen

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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 take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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