I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 5 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 4 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

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 watch 3 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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 spend 3 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
