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 spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 5 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.
