sarah's actions
Climate
Post Your Sustainable Action Photos!
Take a photo of yourself doing something sustainable (either one of your Ecochallenge actions) or something else. Then, go to Comerica's Café (under Colleague Resources on Connect) and add your photo to the Gone Green Photo Album!
Climate
Use Muscle Power
I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.
Forests
Use a Reusable Mug
If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
Oceans
Say No to Plastic Straws
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
People
Volunteer in my Community
I will volunteer 5 hour(s) in my community helping people who are most at need right now, including elderly and immunocompromised people, people without childcare, and people whose jobs have been affected by social distancing measures.
Food
Reduce Animal Products
I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.
Food
Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates
I will spend at least 45 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
Wildlife
Use Reusable Bags
Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals. If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.
Fresh Water
Eco-friendly Gardening
I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

sarah bonam 4/20/2020 8:59 AMBeing trapped at home and in quarantine makes some of these really easy and others a big challenge. Needless to say I don't go anywhere or shop at all. Although my recent grocery delivery was reusable bags! Also, saving cups and straws is super easy with almost all of my beverages coming from home.
