Allison Barrick

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

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

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

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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.
