I will spend 15 minutes learning about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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 try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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 calculate my Water Footprint to learn about my tap water use and "virtual water" use.

I will learn about and update the power saving settings on my computer to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

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