I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or utensils.

I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
