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

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will replace 2 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will walk 4 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 3.45 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
