I will spend at least 60 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

Whether it's by donating or volunteering, I will research the benefits of low-income solar and find out how I can support low-income solar initiatives in my area.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

I will research tool libraries and other sharing economy organizations in my area and rent instead of buy next time I need something they offer.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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