Pearlie Bailey

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will spend 10 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
