Laura Watts

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
