I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will work from home 1 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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.
