Martha von Reis

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Consumer-supported Agriculture).

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or cutlery.

I will only run the dishwasher when it is completely full to use less water and electricity.

I will follow Link Transit on Facebook. Action Resource > >

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.
