Elena Lake

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will spend 5 minutes researching the environmental benefits of peatlands and what is being done around the world to conserve and restore them.

I will set up a visit to tour a green roof in my city, and ask about the codes and process for installing a green roof.

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

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

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

I will commute by bike 12 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 12.31 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will donate 1 Femme Kit(s) to help girls overcome health and sanitation barriers to being able to attend school.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

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

I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.
