Taylor Held

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

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

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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will keep 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
