Michael Joseph

I will tell 3 people why sustainability is important to me and what my vision for a sustainable world is.

I will watch a movie about a sustainability issue I would like to know more about.

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 enjoy 4 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will source 4 meal(s) from local producers each day this week.

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

I will source 3 meal(s) from local producers each day this week. 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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will cook 5 meal(s) with zero waste each day this week.

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

I will contact local officials and city leaders this week to challenge them to support sustainability policies.

I will keep a journal this week as I observe ecological principles in action in my backyard, neighborhood or community.

I will learn what local organizations are working on sustainability issues and how I can get involved.

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 walk 4 mile(s) each day this week instead of driving and avoid sending up to 27.01 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
