I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

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 plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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

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

I will commute by bike 10 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 7.91 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will work from home 6 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
