Stewart Mandel

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will work with my community to retrofit my local arena to be more energy efficient.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend 10 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

Instead of my community throwing out cans and bottles, I will organize an empties drive to raise money and recycle.

Instead of buying new equipment, I will swap or buy used equipment to minimize waste and save money.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend 30 minutes a day outside practicing or playing sports.
