I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 30 minute(s)

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

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will volunteer 2 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.
