I will watch 1 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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will disconnect from my email when not at work or school, using my personal time for endeavors that help me live out my values.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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