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 ask my local seafood market or grocery store if their seafood is sustainable and share the Seafood Watch resources so they can stock sustainable options.

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

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meals each day of the challenge.

Using the Seafood Watch guide, I will feature a sustainable seafood ingredient in a new recipe.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin practicing it in my own life.

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, including electronics and metals.
