I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 1 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

I will watch 3 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 watch 3 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
