Patrick Holden

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

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

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

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 5 friends, family and/or colleagues.

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

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend 10 minutes each day researching women-owned businesses I can support when shopping.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.
