I will spend 60 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

Join WashU Sustainability Staff July 20th from 12pm – 1pm to learn more about how single-use plastics are used in research and healthcare and how you can begin to reduce plastic use in your lab or practice.

I will swap out 5 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will spend 60 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 60 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

Reducing meat consumption has many benefits; it curtails greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and soil degradation. It will also save an enormous amount of land, water use and will increase biodiversity.
