Hanna Van Cleave

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will choose thrift stores, clothing swaps, or second-hand options when I shop for clothes.

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

I will spend 15 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

I will spend 5 minutes exploring how I can grow plants in my space—whether it’s a dorm windowsill, apartment patio, or a shared campus garden.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day around my campus, neighborhood, or local green space to connect with nature.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.
