Taylor Day

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

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

This week, I will attend one local event or meeting concerning a current issue in my community such as a planning meeting, a town hall, or a training on taking action.

I will buy from local businesses instead of shopping online.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) each day this week.

I will research one of the solutions presented in this week's session on Transportation and see if there are any groups in my community already doing this work.

I will maintain a record of all my purchases.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will pick up litter on my street and ask others to join me in taking care of our neighborhood.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. This week, I'll say "no" to plastic bags at the store and plastic straws in all of my drinks.

I will watch one of the films suggested in the additional resources and discuss it with friends or family.

I will walk 10 mile(s) each day this week instead of driving and avoid sending up to 562.71 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will commute by carpool 30 mile(s) each day this week and avoid sending up to 118.57 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
