COBEY's actions
Water
Practice Eco-Friendly Gardening
I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
Community
Help Others in Need
I will offer to help 2 person(s) who are in need each day.
Transportation
Conduct Virtual Meetings
Instead of traveling for meetings or events, I will conduct them virtually when possible—whether for classes, student organizations, or internships—to reduce my carbon footprint.
Waste
Compost My Food Waste
I will avoid sending up to 0.42 lbs (0.19 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.
Simplicity
Buy Used Clothes Instead of New
I will spend 20 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will choose thrift stores, clothing swaps, or second-hand options when I shop for clothes.
Food
Plan Meals for the Week
I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.
Nature
Spend Time Outside
I will replace 20 minutes per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

COBEY PENTECOST 5/19/2026 2:35 PMI've been trying to buy more of my clothes second hand lately, though it can be challenging to find what I need in the right sizes sometimes. I also repair a lot of the clothes I already have too, especially if it's something like a small hole or a broken zipper.-

COBEY PENTECOST 5/12/2026 2:54 PMI live far from campus, so I drive myself in most days, though I carpool sometimes. Any time it's an option I take classes online. It's benificial for a lot of reasons, but one is that it cuts down on the amount of days I'm driving into campus. This term for instance I'm not on campus at all on Tuesdays. -
COBEY PENTECOST 5/06/2026 4:30 PMI helped one of my neighbors move all of her plants out of her green house last week. Then yesterday I helped my other neighbors trim on of their cherry tress.-
Henry Manger 5/12/2026 6:01 PMNice work! I've found that connecting with neighbors can make such a big difference in feeling comfortable / like you are part of a community rather than just being isolated in your home. -

Patrick Dolan 5/09/2026 5:48 PMHey Cobey,
Great job helping your neighbors. Helping our neighbors, especially the older folk who generally need more help with physcal labor, goes a long way in creating deeper and meaningful connections! I've helped some neighbors in the past with yard work and dog walking and it served as a starting point to a great realtionship -

COBEY PENTECOST 4/30/2026 8:50 AMI've been planting native species in the garden and around the yard for years now. I noticed yesterday that one of the grasses I planted years ago was blooming for the first time since I transplanted it. It took a long time to get to this point, but after planting it required no maintenance, I don't even water them. I also have a native vine maple that has done very well, and looks really good in the fall. Not needing to water plants in your yard or garden is a really good way to cut back on water use.-
COBEY PENTECOST 5/04/2026 1:15 PMI haven't planted any in a while, maybe I will this year. I'd like to replace the invasive blackberries with snowberry. -
Amy Minato 5/04/2026 1:12 PMyes they save water and need less maintenance. I like vine maples! are you planting any more natives this season? -

COBEY PENTECOST 4/27/2026 6:01 PMI made a meal plan for the week today. I always go though the fridge and pantry first to see what food I already have and base some meals off of that. This helps with food waste, by using up food I already have. It also helps me not over buy, which saves money too. -
COBEY PENTECOST 4/27/2026 5:59 PMI made a meal plan for the week today. I always start by going through the fridge and seeing what food didn't get used from the week before and I make meals based on that.-
COBEY PENTECOST 5/04/2026 1:13 PMI had some shrimp that I bought the week before, but didn't end up using. So, I made shrimp fajitas. -
