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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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