I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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.

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

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