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

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

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 de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

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.

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

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

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

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