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

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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.

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

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 complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

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

I will spend 45 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
