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.

Having reusables ready and integrated into my daily routine can help to avoid single-use plastic while out and about. I will put together a kit with items like a mug, water bottle, utensils, or tote bag to take with me when I leave the house.

I will explore alternatives to using a car — such as walking, biking, carpooling, micro-mobility options, or public transit to reduce my carbon footprint. I will use alternative transit 5 mile(s) per day.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will schedule a recurring reminder to declutter my digital files, emails, or cloud storage to make it a habit of reducing my digital footprint.

I will spend 120 minutes unsubscribing from unnecessary email lists and deleting old emails to reduce digital storage.

Groceries are one of the biggest sources of single-use packaging that generates waste. I will redesign one part of my grocery routine (e.g., bulk bins, loose produce, refill options) to replace 5 products with plastic and packaging waste.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about nonprofits in my area that tackle sustainability and waste challenges that I could get involved with.
