Sarah Irwin

I will replace 30 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about how and where to dispose of medications and chemicals properly.

I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard, or volunteer in my community: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant some in my area.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

Using Seafood Watch's list, I will enjoy 1 sustainable seafood meal(s) each day.

Throughout the day, I will note the single-use plastics I use and consider the reusable options available to me.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily rest during work days to practice work-life balance.

I will spend 20 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

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