Not sure where to start? Across this sprint, the actions most participants are focusing on fall into three areas: minutes spent learning, pounds of CO2 saved, and plastic items reduced. Browse all five categories, but if you're feeling overwhelmed, look for 🔷 actions tied to these three impacts as your starting point.

I will choose a secondhand (e.g., thrifted, resold) or refurbished item the next time I shop, instead of buying a new one, to keep valuable resources in use longer.

A clean community benefits everyone. Each day I am outside, I will pick up 10 pieces of litter daily to keep my community clean and share what I find in the event feed.

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.

Donating gently used goods not only prevents waste but also strengthens social safety nets. I will donate items at least 7 times through a local shop or drop box in the next two weeks instead of throwing them away.
