I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.
