I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.
