I will organize one of NWEI's discussion courses on food sustainability, 'Menu for the Future' or 'Hungry for Change', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

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

I will spend 10 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

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.

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

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

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

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 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

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