Donna Zarro

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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

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

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

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

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

Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).
