ARISE challenges you!

1. Bike or walk to work/school/anywhere for a week (minimum).

2. Buy local produce. Visit your local farmer's markets! (list to follow)

3. Reduce your waste at home by recycling and using a compost bin. (You don't need to buy one of these- re-using an ice cream or yogurt container works well.) if you don't have a Green Bin System in your building, pledge for one.
