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

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

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 choose organic as often as possible to reduce exposure to pesticides, which are unhealthy for me as well as the planet.

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

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

I will cut out or reduce all artificial sweeteners in my diet, especially acesulfame potassium, aspartame, sucralose and saccharin - all which can decrease human health and pollute our waterways.

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 avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will limit my social media use to once per day.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will not eat seafood.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or cutlery.

I will carefully fill my plate in the dining hall and take only what I can eat. I'll also inquire about ways to improve composting and use of recyclable foodware.
