I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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

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

Both systemic 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 install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

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

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

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 3 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.
