Mary Jo Reichenbach

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero waste each day.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will sign up for Comerica's Master of Sustainability Awareness Program and will work on my MSA Seedling level certification (or higher certifications for existing MSA participants).

I will replace 30 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

Of nearly 44 million U.S. renter households in 2019, more than 45% paid rent equal to 30% or more of their gross household income. I will spend 60 minutes learning about a renters bill of rights and affordable housing.

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

I will spend 30 minutes each day studying the toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products around my home.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.
