I will calculate my ecological footprint, and from the results brainstorm and take action on ways I can reduce my annual footprint.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

I will spend 25 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will spend at least 40 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 2 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 30 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.
