I will spend 5 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
