I will watch 4 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend at least 68 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

I will take a walk outside for 3 minutes each day.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 1 conversations.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 6 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 12 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
