I will commute by bike 16 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 18.17 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will disconnect from my email when not working or studying.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

Racial inequity is a sustainability problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend at least 60 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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