Mindy Parker

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will recognize 2 colleague(s) for their sustainability efforts on our team feed, in-person, by email, and/or through my organization's recognition platforms.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 24oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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

I will refuse 3 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.
