I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.
