I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

Attending a session to discuss the impacts of waste on the environment and the benefits to composting.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will host a virtual film screening and discussion about women's and gender equality issues.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will replace 20 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and BIPOC-majority neighborhoods. I will avoid buying and using 3 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

Replace all cleaning products with eco-friendly cleaning options. Subscribed to Blueland and Dropps for eco-friendly, plastic free cleaning supplies, soaps, detergents and dryer sheets.

I promoted health and wellness in my community by receiving the COVID-19 vaccination and practicing safe practices daily.

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

I will calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce my negative impact on the environment.

I will connect with a local nonprofit working on issues affecting women, girls, and/or trans and nonbinary people in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.
