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

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

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

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home or dorm room.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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