Stewart Mandel

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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