ALYSSA ZICOLELLO

I will spend at least 20 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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 45 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

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

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 9 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

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.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
