Maria Anderson

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will spend 120 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.
