Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

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

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 2 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day.

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

Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 5 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

Food waste hurts our planet and our communities. I will cook 3 meals with zero waste each day.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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 spend 50 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 minutes each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)
