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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 15 minute(s) each day.

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 spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

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

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

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

I will offer to help 2 person(s) who are in need each day.
