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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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

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 keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will commute by bike 4 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 3.58 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will replace 8 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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.
