I will avoid buying and using toxic plastics.

I will donate unneeded clothing, books, and household items rather than throwing them away.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will establish an emergency kit and escape route in case of natural disaster like wild fire.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.
