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

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

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

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 de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

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