I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

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

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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.
