3R Sustainability

Communities of color surrounding where I live have been most impacted by environmental irresponsibility. I have a close relationship with a family who lives next to a manufacturing facility that has suffered severe health problems. They are living in a lower socio-economic community and the majority of the people living there are people of color.

There are many better choices I could be making to reduce my footprint and would like to try.

It is more important to eat locally and more sustainable. For me, I like this because I know exactly where my food is coming from.

I like that it has given me the opportunity to hold myself accountable for doing sustainable actions.

I am already pretty good at conserving water but I learned more about virtual water use which is the majority of my water use. I learned some interesting ways to reduce that.

Attended local repair fair

I meditate daily for 10 minutes

It is important to me to vote for someone who aligns with my values and beliefs and one of my values is to protect the environment.

I was able to fix a small desktop fan and also fixed some of my son's books.
