I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will work from home 30 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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

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 10 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will spend 10 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.
