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

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

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

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