I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

I will source 3 meal(s) from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will support women-owned businesses when I shop this month.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.

If I have to buy paper products, I will only purchase products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

I will buy from organic and local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.
