Mary Robertson

I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

Organizations have a responsibility to make sustainable business decisions. To understand how to improve sustainable practices, it’s important to start with understanding the current impact. I will share the Tradewater Business Carbon Calculator with my organization.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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