I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will spend 60 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 90 minute(s)

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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 complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.
