I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
