I will start a compost or worm bin where I live.

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 visit seafoodwatch.org and download the app to commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water a day or 330 gallons (1,230 L) a month by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

I will donate to nonprofits that install clean cookstoves in low-income countries.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about the legacy of redlining and how city planning and environmental justice issues are interconnected.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

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