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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.

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

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.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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 save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.
