Erin Braasch

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

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 use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will find out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.
