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

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.
