I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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 travel by bike 5 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will walk 5 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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