Maitland's actions
Waste
Use Reusable Bags
If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
Water
Say No to Plastic Straws
An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
Energy
Replace Manual Thermostats
I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.
Energy
Power Down the Computer
I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
Health
Joyful Movement
I will spend 10 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.
Health
Exercise Daily
Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

Maitland Witmer 4/20/2021 6:09 PMOne of my goals was to not use plastic bags while shopping. I had one bag that I would take to the store and use. I accidently ripped it so I had to buy a new one. Well, now I am obsessed with bags and haven't used a plastic bag since. I even am starting to get my mom to take a bag. -
Maitland Witmer 4/19/2021 7:15 PMI choose to turn off my computer for when not in use for more than 2 hours and as a result I have started to do the same things for many other of my electronics! As an added bonus, my battery has been lasting a little bit longer.
