I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
