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

I will organize one of NWEI's discussion courses on food sustainability, 'Menu for the Future' or 'Hungry for Change', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

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

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 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 keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 spend 1 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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 cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 3 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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 enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend 1 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.
