I will volunteer 10 hours in my community or campus through clubs, service-learning, campus organizations, or other local events or opportunities.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

Leave No Trace means enjoying nature responsibly by minimizing our impact and leaving the environment as we found it, or better. I will spend 5 minutes learning about the seven core principles to minimize my impact while enjoying the outdoors.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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 3 containers out of the landfill each day.

I will join my student government or another local group of decision makers.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will avoid sending up to 0.42 lbs (0.19 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.
