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

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.

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.

Leave No Trace means enjoying nature responsibly by minimizing our impact and leaving the environment as we found it, or better. I will spend 30 minutes learning about the seven core principles to minimize my impact while enjoying the outdoors.

I will spend 45 minutes learning about the Right to Repair movement and how repair policies influence electronic waste and device longevity.

I will spend 15 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 10 pieces of litter daily to keep my community clean and share what I find in the event feed.

Donating gently used goods not only prevents waste but also strengthens social safety nets. I will donate items at least 2 times through a local shop or drop box in the next two weeks instead of throwing them away.
