I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will plant 3 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work, on campus and/or in the spaces I frequent.

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

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

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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 avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
