I will spend at least 10 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

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

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will spend 15 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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