I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 12 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 1 conversations.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 6 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

I will spend at least 68 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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

I will take a walk outside for 3 minutes each day.

I will watch 4 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.
