Greg Mountain

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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

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.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will spend 15 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

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 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
