I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will spend 70 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

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 spend at least 60 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will enjoy 2 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 avoid sending 9 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

I will source 2 meal(s) each day from local producers.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
