I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will spend at least 5 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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 save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

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 purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will source 3 meal(s) each day from local producers.

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 6 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will enjoy 5 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

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

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

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will spend at least 5 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.
