Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for local or organic food options at work, on campus, or in the spaces I frequent.

Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day.

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.

I will replace 30 minutes per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 8 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

I will take a walk each day to clear my mind, get some fresh air, and support my physical and mental health as a student.
