I will spend 45 minutes unsubscribing from unnecessary email lists and deleting old emails to reduce digital storage.

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 refuse single-use items (e.g., napkins, utensils, condiment packets, lids) from restaurants and establishments when I don’t need them.

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.

I will spend 60 minutes learning how data storage works, including where my files are stored (e.g., local device vs cloud) and how that impacts energy use.

Too much artificial light can confuse and harm animals, especially those active at night. I will reduce lighting at night or switch to wildlife-friendly fixtures to support healthy habitats.

I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 1. Doing so will prevent 0.34 pounds of food per household member from entering the landfill.

I will spend 45 minutes organizing and deleting unneeded files on my desktop and downloads folder.

I will learn how to repurpose my leftovers into new meals and share my meal makeover ideas 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 45 minutes learning about the seven core principles to minimize my impact while enjoying the outdoors.
