Evie Blomqvist

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community while observing best practices in my region for not spreading COVID-19.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will spend at least 60 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 60 minute(s)

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will replace 20 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

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