Austin's actions
Health
Learn About Local Environmental Justice Concerns
I will spend 5 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
Food
Try a New Way to Prep
I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
Waste
Skip the Straw
Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Transportation
Walk Instead
I will walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 0.54 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
Energy
Power Down the Computer
I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
Energy
Turn it off
I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
Transportation
Go by Bike
I will commute by bike 2 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 0.93 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
