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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day.
