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.

I will spend 4 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
