Aubrei Krummert

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will source 10 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on electric and fuel-efficient vehicles
