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

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.
