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

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
