If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors or classmates to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

Live in the spirit of Do It In The Dark: turn off the lights, air dry your clothes, or take a shorter shower!

Ride the blue bus instead of driving a personal car!

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will host a watch party to screen a documentary about an issue that matters to me.

I will spend 90 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.
