Drake Kirkham

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.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will work from home 3 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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