I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will keep 9 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will avoid sending 9 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend 12 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
