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

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

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.

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

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
