Coleman Young

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.
