I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

I will avoid buying and using 1 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during Youth Climate Ecochallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.

I will start or tend a garden at my home, whether in my yard or in containers on a porch or windowsill.
