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 spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will spend 15 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

I will use the resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

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

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.
