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

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 avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will work from home 3 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.
