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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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.

My goal is to only fill my plate with what I can eat. This makes it so none of my food goes to the landfill or even compost. This aims to waste less and be more realistic with my resources.
