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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 15 minute(s) each day.

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

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

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

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.
