I learned quite a bit more about the plastic manufacturing process and how that contributes to Climate Disruption as well as the issues it creates for disposal. The film motivated me to reduce my plastic use even more.

I will spend 15 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.
Action Track: Justice for the Whole Community
Reduce Single-Use Disposables
Do at Home
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 2 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

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

Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their household.
