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

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

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will meet 2 new neighbor(s) each day.

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 decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 1 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.

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.

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