I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

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 prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
