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

I will spend 40 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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 3 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will spend quality time with family and friends by playing low-tech game(s) and/or through the spirit of imagination.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will volunteer 8 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I created a composting bin using soil, a large plastic crate (with holes drilled into it), and torn up paper grocery bags. Super satisfying!
