I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will cook 1 meals with zero-waste each day.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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 explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the climate impact of refrigerants and what climate-friendly refrigerants are by using the links below.
