Maureen Linneman

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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

I will buy from organic and local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

If I have to buy paper products, I will only purchase products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

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

I will source 1 meal(s) from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.
