I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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

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 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 improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

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

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

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

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

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