Sarah's actions
Waste
Use Reusable Bags
If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Do at Home
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

Reduce Single-Use Disposables
Do at Home
Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 2 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

Sarah McGrath 10/21/2020 6:38 PMFollowing on from a documentary I watched a few weeks ago, I have committed myself to take meat out of my diet and follow a plant based diet at least 5 days per week for breakfast, lunch & dinner! Today is a new day - give it a try! -
Sarah McGrath 10/20/2020 11:42 PMIn the last 2 evenings, I have watched 2 great documentaries on Netflix: Chasing Ice & Chasing Coral. I would highly recommend you all to watch these and find out the impact how we're currently living our lives is having and has had in the last 5 years on the environment - it shocked me! -
