Vicki Hobbs

I will connect with a local nonprofit related to sustainability and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will spend 10 minutes checking out all the energy-saving opportunities on Chelan PUD's web page, ConservationMakesCents.org.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will wear clothes until they are dirty and only run the washing machine for full loads.

I will raise money to support Sustainable Wenatchee or another nonprofit.

I will learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will spend 5-10 minutes each day meditating, in prayer or reading inspirational literature.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will only run the dishwasher when it is completely full to use less water and electricity.

I will donate unneeded clothing, books, and household items rather than throwing them away.

I will replace 30 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $33 per bulb over the life of each bulb.

Visit a local car dealer and take a test-drive in an all-electric vehicle.

I will only use reusable containers for my lunches at work or school, and for any leftovers when eating out.
