I will spend at least 2 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

We change or the climate does. 🌎🌿🌱 Create a TikTok video #ForClimate. Show us the impacts of extreme weather and then share how you're going to make a difference. BE CREATIVE! Be sure to tag #ForClimate

In Philadelphia, artists have banded together to create beautiful posters with messages of hope and solidarity. The People’s Paper Project of Philadelphia is working with local building and business owners to print and exhibit the posters on walls and closed storefronts. Let’s do the same in NYC!

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local and/or organic food options in my state and/or community.

I will scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher and only run the dishwasher when it’s full.

Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 9 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will spend at least 10 minutes a day using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.
