Elizabeth Worsham

I will watch Drawdown’s Climate Solutions 101 and share what I learned with others.

Using Drawdown's Job Function Action Guide, I will learn about climate actions I can take at work.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 120 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will start a compost or worm bin where I live.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions, and opting out of junk mail.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

I will enjoy 1 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will take time to learn more about United Way and other nonprofit organizations active in my community and pledge a financial donation through BEA’s United Way campaign.
