ANTONIO PENA

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will spend quality time with family and friends by playing low-tech game(s) and/or through the spirit of imagination.

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

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

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