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

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

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 prevent water runoff and increase absorbency.

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

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

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

I will sign petitions in support of an environmental or social initiative in my state.

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

I will buy from local businesses instead of shopping online.

I will maintain a record of all my purchases.

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

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

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

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

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.
