Paige Montesano

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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 purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

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

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

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will replace 60 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
