I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, neighbors or classmates.

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 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.

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

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

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