I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

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 spend at least 45 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will commute by bike 12 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 15.24 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.
