I will spend 5 minutes finding out how to recycle in my region, where landfills and/or waste sites are situated in my region, and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

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 enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend 10 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

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

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

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 spend 30 minutes learning about palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and other products known to contribute to deforestation, and replace or remove them.

I will reduce food waste, excess carbon and save money by planning my daily and weekly menus so that I only purchase the ingredients needed.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.
