I will work from home 20 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

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.

As an extension to Comerica's National Day of Service in September, consider conducting a virtual volunteer action that supports our communities. Since there are no organized in-person river, beach or lake clean-ups in most communities this year, if you would like, you can consider cleaning up around your house and neighborhood to support your local environment as neighborhood storm drains commonly drain to local water bodies. Please do not invite others outside of your household if you choose this action.
