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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

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

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will host a watch party to screen a documentary about an issue that matters to me.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will spend 15 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

I will commute by bike 3 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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.

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