Sarah Muenster-Blakley

I will join my St. Thomas community in celebrating Sustainability Week and attend at least one event or participate in one self-guided activity in addition to the Ecochallenge during the week of April 21-27! View the full schedule of events at link.stthomas.edu/sustweek24.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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 avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
