Emma Massick

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

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.

I will organize one of NWEI's discussion courses, such as 'Reconnecting with Earth', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

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

I will spend at least 120 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will watch 5 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 create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

I will volunteer 5 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.
