I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will calculate my Water Footprint to learn about my tap water use and "virtual water" use.

Processed foods can be less nutritious for our bodies and take more energy and water to produce, which can create more waste, pollution, and offer less benefit to our health. I will enjoy 1 meals per day free of processed foods.
