I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

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

I will spend at least 1 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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will watch 2 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 use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.
