Sarah Flanders

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

I will not use any disposable straws, plates, cups, or cutlery.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will only use reusable containers for my lunches at work or school.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.
