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 avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

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.
