I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottles from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 2 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

Organic farming practices are healthier and safer for our planet, animals, and people. I will enjoy 1 meals cooked with organic ingredients per day.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.
