I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
