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

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

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

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

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