I will take a walk outside for 30 minutes each day.

I will spend 20 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will watch 3 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

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

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

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 avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

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

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

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 120 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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