I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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