Amanda Kaku

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 1 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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 at least 15 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

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.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.
