Roberta Burnes

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will plant pollinator-friendly plants in my area to support local pollinators.

Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 20 minutes and collect 15 items of litter.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

Each day, I will spend time developing a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

I will volunteer 5 hours in my community.

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will try a new vegan or vegetarian recipe and share how it turns out on the Ecochallenge feed, or with family and friends.

Each day, I will spend 20 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 2 people about what I learned.
