Julia Dimino

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 45 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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.

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.
