Aisha Panas

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

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

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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