Doron Schlumm

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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 upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend at least 15 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will use the resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.
