I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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