I will watch 2 documentaries 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 naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

Processed foods can be less nutritious for our bodies and take more energy and water to produce, which can create more waste, pollution, and may offer fewer health benefits. I will enjoy 3 meals per day free of processed foods.

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

I will spend 120 minutes listening to a podcast about food.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

Food waste hurts our planet and our communities. I will cook 5 meals with zero waste each day.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

Organic farming practices are healthier and safer for our planet, animals, and people. I will enjoy 3 meals cooked with organic ingredients per day.
