Melanie Perry

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

I will refuse 1 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.

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.

Support GoMaine by completing the Maine Commuter survey. The data helps inform commuting needs in our state. Follow the link to take the survey and be entered into a raffle for $50 gift certificate!

Check out Espresa's Platform-- did you know you can get reimbursed for at home composting? Composting reduces GHG emissions by as much as 70% vs landfilling organic waste.

I will take one action to support local wildlife, such as adding a food or water source, creating shelter/habitat, preventing light pollution, eliminating bird strikes, or another action.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors, or purchase items second-hand to reduce resource use.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 3 items.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 3 locally-sourced meals.
