I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 5 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 practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 4 conversations.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

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

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will spend at least 5 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

I will spend 5 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will replace 45 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will spend 40 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will spend 5 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home or dorm room.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 1 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
