I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will replace 15 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

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

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

I will source 2 meal(s) each day from local producers.
