Lynn Hansen

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

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 avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
