Alex's actions
Waste
Reduce Single-Use Disposables
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.
Food
Reduce Animal Products
I will enjoy 4 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
Health
Healthy Sleep
