Hazem Salem (Salem)

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

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

Access to public transportation enables more opportunity and a better quality of life. I will make 0 phone call(s) and/or send 3 emails per day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

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

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

I will walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will work from home 3 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
