Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

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 spend 20 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will use the resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

Access to public transportation is a social justice issue! I will learn about the need for public transportation in my community and tell 1 friends or classmates each day about the issue.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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