I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

Access to public transportation is a social justice issue! I will learn about the need for public transportation in my community and tell 6 friends each day about the issue.

I will spend at least 112 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will make 7 phone call(s) and/or send 1 emails each day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

I will use public transit 4 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to -0.32 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

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

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will spend at least 35 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

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

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
