Laura Engelmann

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 2 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 15 minute(s) each day.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
