Alondra Rosado

I will spend at least 30 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

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

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

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 sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 25 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

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

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.

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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 try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
