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

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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.

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

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

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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

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.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
