Libby Hanson

Each day, I will engage in a sharing economy among my family, friends, and neighbors.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will spend 15 minutes each day studying the toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products around my home.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
