Ana Plana

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 save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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.
