Marlena Motta

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.
