Strong neighborhoods are built on connection and trust. I will introduce myself to 1 neighbors or spend time getting to know people in my community.

Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 3 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

I will spend 30 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

Many common products contain harmful chemicals. I will spend 30 minutes researching chemicals found in products I use, and I will make a list of products I'd like to replace with safer options.

Instead of traveling for meetings or events, I will conduct them virtually when possible—whether for classes, student organizations, or internships—to reduce my carbon footprint.

Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to people or perform random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.

I will walk 5 miles each day instead of driving.

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community or campus through clubs, service-learning, campus organizations, or other local events or opportunities.

Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.

I will use public transit 10 miles each day and avoid sending CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or coordinate ride shares with roommates, classmates, or campus peers to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 60 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

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

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