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

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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

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