I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

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

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will keep 6 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

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.

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.
