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

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

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

I will volunteer hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will use the resource links provided and spend minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.
