Mindi Kelemen

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will use public transit 30 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 15.25 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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 improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

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