I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

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 sign a petition in support of an environmental or social initiative in my state.

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.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. This week, I'll say "no" to plastic bags at the store and plastic straws in all of my drinks.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will find out what local sustainability issues are most urgent in my region, including both social and environmental justice concerns.

I will pick up litter on my street and ask others to join me in taking care of our neighborhood.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) each day this week.
