    People of color are the most effected by environmental irresponsibility in my community and generally in every community. They are prioritized less, do not have clean water, do not have access to healthy food, do not have clean community spaces and are more apt to get sick.

    Less than 3 more cents per kilowatt hour to choose solar and wind clean energy than traditional energy using Clean Choice and keeping our  ComEd account. So easy to switch and not much of an increase for a good cause!

    Happy last day of the challenge all!

    This has been an interesting journey. Although I don’t go online consistently to check in, the choices always seem to be on my mind

    It’s so easy to go on the website of anyone who sends you mail and to click “go paperless”.
  • October 24 at 9:11 AM
    So glad Milynn bought is these metal straws, makes this one easy
  • October 24 at 9:10 AM
    Yet another meeting I did by phone/computer, which I even like way better than having to drive somewhere.
  • October 24 at 9:08 AM
    Instead of unerring everywhere, I can walk or jog when my destination is close enough, which improves air quality as well as my own personal health 
  • October 24 at 9:07 AM
    I learned about “environmental racism” where the pollutants and toxic wastes are typically held in low income communities like in the southeast parts of Chicago
  • October 24 at 9:03 AM
    Sugar is pretty much poison, so I just try to keep that in mind with my daily choices
