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

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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 improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

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

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

I will spend 10 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

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

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will enjoy 3 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.
