Gayle Evans

During the work day, I will schedule time for breaks to practice work-life balance.

Each day, I will practice a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will spend 90 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and adopt at least one sustainable fashion practice.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

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 reduce food waste, excess carbon and save money by planning my daily and weekly menus so that I only purchase the ingredients needed.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 90 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant a few in my area.

I will replace 40 minute(s) per day typically spent inside and often with electronics with quality time outside walking, exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, observing nature, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day finding out what sustainability and nature-related legislation is on local and state ballots this year.
