This year we asked everyone at Powder7 to come up with, and commit to, a personal environmental New Year’s Resolution. \u00a0The idea here is that if enough of us focus on incremental, day-to-day, improvements on our personal environmental impact, it will add up to something big.\u00a0Here’s what a few of our team members decided to do to help our planet. So far we’re over two months in and still going strong.<\/p>\n

Blake<\/strong> –\u00a0I’ve purchased an adapter for my Keruig coffee maker that allows me to put ground coffee into a pod and refill it. With this, I will greatly cut down on my plastic waste.<\/p>\n

Max<\/strong> –\u00a0My resolution will be to increase my awareness of different product brands (groceries mostly) and to avoid products that are obtained using unsustainable methods, especially meats, fish, and produce.<\/p>\n

Chris<\/strong> –\u00a0I’m going to try to\u00a0ride my bike more to work!<\/p>\n

Keagan<\/strong> –\u00a0I’m horrible with resolutions, but I did get 4 reusable bags and put them in my car.<\/p>\n

Matt<\/strong> –\u00a0My environmental goals for the year revolve around making it so that my recycling bin is used much more than the trash can, and being better at using less heat and A\/C by being smart about using windows and blinds. On a tangental note, I am trying to eat less beef because irresponsible cattle ranching is a huge contributor to many atmospheric concerns.<\/p>\n

Lauren<\/strong> –\u00a0My environmental New Year’s resolution is to cut my shower time in half to save water!<\/p>\n

Andrew<\/strong> –\u00a0My girlfriend and I are getting ambitious this year! We’re all about sustainability. I’m hoping to get almost all of our fruit and veggies from our garden by mid summer and completely cut cow products from our diet. Local produce only! I will also be leading a trail crew again this summer for hiking trail conservation and maintenance.<\/p>\n
