I will spend 10 minutes learning about the energy and resource impacts of AI and automation tools and identify 1–2 ways to use them more intentionally.

Bees and other pollinators are vital to ecosystems and agriculture. I will spend 10 minutes learning how to support local pollinators and take at least one action—such as planting native flowers or avoiding pesticides—to help sustain resilient ecosystems and harvests.

Donating gently used goods not only prevents waste but also strengthens social safety nets. I will donate items at least 1 times through a local shop or drop box in the next two weeks instead of throwing them away.

The sprint may be ending, but your habits don't have to. Pick 1-2 actions from the past two weeks you want to keep doing, and share your plan in the feed to help it stick.

To better understand how I can waste less, I’ll track how much waste I produce in a day (or week), paying attention to packaging, food containers, food waste, and single-use items. I’ll reflect on what surprised me most and what I could do differently in the feed.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, wood furniture, electronics, clothing, and more.

Reusables only help if we use them! I will set up a system that helps me remember my reusable bags, bottles, containers, or utensils — whether that means keeping them by the door, in my car, or in my bag.

I will spend 10 minutes learning how data storage works, including where my files are stored (e.g., local device vs cloud) and how that impacts energy use.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 4. Doing so will prevent 0.34 pounds of food per household member from entering the landfill.

I will spend 10 minutes organizing and deleting unneeded files on my desktop and downloads folder.

A clean community benefits everyone. Each day I am outside, I will pick up 5 pieces of litter daily to keep my community clean and share what I find in the event feed.

Before you dive in, take 2 minutes to share your why: What's motivating you to waste less this sprint? Post it to the feed so you (and the rest of us!) have something to look back on when things get busy.

I will spend 10 minutes unsubscribing from unnecessary email lists and deleting old emails to reduce digital storage.
