I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will watch 1 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 spend at least 45 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

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