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 enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

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

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

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

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.
