Douglass St.Christian

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

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

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

I will organize NWEI's discussion course 'Voluntary Simplicity' with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will source 3 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.
