I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cups to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 1 containers out of the landfill each day.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.
