The average American wastes over $400 and tons of energy on uneaten food per year, I will save that money and reduce the amount of food I waste by effectively meal planning, not overordering, and composting or donating leftover food.

I will air seal and insulate my home to make it more comfortable and energy efficient.

I will source 1 meal(s) per day from local producers. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will avoid sending food waste to the landfill by composting my food or learning how to.

I will reuse materials instead of buying new ones and donate materials that I no longer use.

I will reduce unnecessary purchases by only buying what I truly need.
