If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will spend at least 15 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will raise money to support Northwest Earth Institute or another local nonprofit.

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

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

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

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

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 start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

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

I will spend 15 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.
