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

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

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

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

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

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

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.

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.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will spend 1 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.
