Seanna Dizon- Ochoa

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will spend 30 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 1 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.

I will meet 1 new neighbor(s) each day.

I will spend 15 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

I will spend 20 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will spend 15 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors or classmates to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.
