If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 8 friends, family and/or colleagues.

I will sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on electric and fuel-efficient vehicles

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will spend at least 45 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.
