James's actions
Health
Eliminate Toxic Plastics
I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.
Energy
Replace Manual Thermostats
I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Food
Whole Foods Diet
I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
