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

I will research alternatives (like Gross National Happiness) to measuring economic livelihood and the health of a nation.

I will buy from local businesses instead of shopping online.

I will maintain a record of all my purchases.

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

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero waste each day this week.

I will offer to help 2 person(s) who are in need this week.

I will watch The Story of Bottled Water to learn more about bottled water's impacts on the environment.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will find out if my local utilities offer an option for supporting renewable energy investment.

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