Rachel Parkhill

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

Complete the Greener Apron training through Starbucks Global Academy

I will source 5 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will create a plan to and advocate for solar installation at my business, apartment building, or campus.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and BIPOC-majority neighborhoods. I will avoid buying and using 5 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on issues affecting women, girls, and/or trans and nonbinary people in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.
