Keep My Community Clean
At times it may not feel like it's up to us to keep our community clean and healthy, but we all have a role to play. Each day I am outside, I will pick up any litter I see.

Use Reusable Bags
Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals and can end up in habitats that harm wildlife. I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

Purchase an energy efficient vehicle
I have a goal to purchase a low-cost, USED, fuel efficient vehicle. I want to do this to save money and energy spent traveling into the office (27 miles) for when I am forced to return to the office later this year instead of being allowed to remain remote. While remote work is better for the environment, I can control what kind of vehicle I purchase and drive. Buying used has less impact.

Borrow Before I Buy
Why buy something I will only use once or a few times if someone nearby has it for me to borrow, and why not share something I have that someone may only need a few times a year? To reduce my consumption and waste, I will create or support the sharing economy with friends, family, colleagues or neighbors.

Use a Reusable Water Bottle
It's estimated over a billion water bottles are thrown away each year. Even if they were recycled, that still uses energy and resources from the earth. I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

Absolutely! Being blessed with bees as the main pollinators of our ecosystem is a true gift. Their vital role in pollination ensures the reproduction of countless plants, supporting our food supply and biodiversity. Let's cherish and protect these remarkable creatures for the well-being of our planet.
We drove 8 hours one way just to pick up this 25 year old gas sipper! I drove it home and still averaged over 40mpg keeping it floored to get up mountains in West Virginia. I'll be cleaning it up this summer and it will become my "new" office commuter car.
