Katie Ferrick

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will keep 7 forks, spoons, and/or knives from entering the landfill by using reusable utensils when eating at work.

I pledge to take one action that improves the sustainability of my organization in 2025. It can be an action from this challenge or another action that improves resource stewardship.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 2 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 20 items.

I will replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will turn my computer monitor(s) off at my work station when not in use to save energy (I will follow my organization's IT instructions for keeping on, turning off, or restarting computers).
