I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will replace 15 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will spend 15 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 30 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 upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

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

I will spend 10 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

I will spend 15 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

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

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

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

I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
