Allison Maurice (DET)

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 spend 120 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will spend 20 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

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 meditate or create a moment of silence for 4 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend 15 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 90 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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.
