Marina Bushell

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

I will volunteer 3 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

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

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

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 de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.
