Pearlie Bailey

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
