Kathryn Hickey

I will spend 15 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 15 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will volunteer 3 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will offer to help 1 person(s) who are in need each day.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 10 minute(s) 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 visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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 15 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
