I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

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 advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work, on campus and/or in the spaces I frequent.

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

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will spend 3 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day
