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

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

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
