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

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

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

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

I will watch 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.

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.

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

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