I will make sure I'm registered to vote. While I'm at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will walk 2 miles each day instead of driving.

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

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 90 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

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

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cups to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straws out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

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 replace 15 minutes per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day around my campus, neighborhood, or local green space to connect with nature.
