I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will spend 60 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.

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

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 spend at least 120 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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

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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

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

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.
