Johnelle Lamarque

I will post laminated signs on or near our collective trash dumpsters and recycle bins that indicate clearly what can and cannot be recycled.

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.

I will spend 90 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 45 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

Access to public transportation is a social justice issue! I will learn about the need for public transportation in my community and tell 1 friends or colleagues per day about the issue.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.
