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 avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

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

I will watch 2 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 advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.
