I want to reduce my environmental impact because it is essential that we all do our part to live more sustainably, and minimize our contribution to climate change whenever we can.

"By any means necessary", because I wish to connect to one another, the earth and all of her species, and to vouchsafe what remains of the living world for the present and for those following us. I can't always hold to 'every little act counts', sometimes the mess we have made is too overwhelming, but I try to return to that more sanguine perspective.

I want to reduce my environmental impact because I want to reduce the amount of garbage that I produce and throw away.

Landfills are filling way too fast! I reuse or share as many of my things as possible.

As a busy student with a job, it sometimes is easy to get into the habit of relying on convenience, especially in an environment that is not designed around sustainable choices. I am joining the zero waste as a daily reminder to act in alignment with my values, and that I am not alone.

In the wake of current climate news and legislation, every individual action matters and it’s important to not forget that.

I want to become more conscious of the waste that I produce, and learn strategies for minimizing it. Ideally, when I have a more stable living situation, these tools can be applied and lead to no single-use plastic, composting all food waste, growing my own food, and creating/upcycling my clothes!

Getting started
How it works
Step 01
Create your profile
Tell us a bit about yourself so we can suggest your best next step.
Step 02
Take action
Try swaps, complete steps, and join challenges matched to your life.
Step 03
Track your progress
Earn badges, see your impact, and get your next steps as you go.
Your sphere of influence
Change starts where you are and ripples outward. We're here to help you find your best next step at every level.
You
Your daily habits — what you buy, how you cook, what you throw away. This is where most people start, and where the biggest personal impact lives.
Your Community
Your workplace, school, or neighborhood. Organize a challenge, start a composting program, or get your office to ditch single-use plastics.
The System
Policy, advocacy, and the systems that shape what's possible. Push for better reuse infrastructure, packaging regulations, and corporate accountability.
Our Approach
Reduction first.
Everything else follows.
Deforestation, plastic in the ocean, climate change — all driven by overconsumption. Reduction is the only strategy that works at every stage.
