I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

I will cook a new recipe every day that features organic and/or local ingredients.

I will refrain from going out during the week and instead choose sober and healthy activities like exercising, advocating for change and getting outdoors.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, and only buying the ingredients I need.

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

I will make my own cleaning products using non-toxic ingredients - improving air quality at home or school and also protecting human and environmental health.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will check labels on my shampoo, lotions and/or beauty products. I'll replace products that use known carcinogens such as formaldehyde, cocamide diethanolamine, DMDM hydantoin or benzene.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

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

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

I will not eat seafood.

I will enjoy vegan meals each day, eliminating all animal products such as meat, eggs, and dairy.

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