Nicole Boback

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

I will use the Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurant finder to choose a Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurant when I dine out.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will make my sustainability actions visible with a lawn sign or bumper sticker, or by posting to my social media networks.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.
