Stephania Fregosi

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will replace 15 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will sign up for a local CSA (consumer-supported agriculture).

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will take a walk each day.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will install alternative energy systems, e.g., solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or cutlery.

Traded for canned items with a friend. Fiber and hand-dyed yarn for apple cider and salsa. We can't all do it all, but we can stay local.
