I will buy from local businesses instead of shopping online.

I will maintain a record of all my purchases.

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

I will enjoy 0 meatless meal(s) and/or 21 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will source 10 meal(s) from local producers each day this week.

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

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will cook 21 meal(s) with zero waste each day this week.

I will walk 2 mile(s) each day this week instead of driving and avoid sending up to 11.25 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.
