I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

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

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 2 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching and advocating for a comprehensive high speed rail network in my country/region.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.

I will use public transit 15 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 30 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.
