I will watch or read the news each day this week with a specific focus on sustainability issues and happenings.

I will watch a movie about a sustainability issue I would like to know more about.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will calculate my ecological footprint and talk with my family or roommates about way we can reduce our negative enviromental impact.

I will watch one of the films suggested in the additional resources and discuss it with friends or family.

I will maintain a record of all my purchases.

I will research one of the solutions presented in this week's session on Transportation and see if there are any groups in my community already doing this work.

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) each day this week.

I will offer to help 1 person(s) who are in need this week.
