Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will meet 1 new neighbor(s) each day.

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

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
