I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, classmate, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 2 conversations.

I will offer to help 3 person(s) who are in need each day.

I will declutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my dorm room, apartment, or home to create a more peaceful and organized living space.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 1 containers out of the landfill each day.

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

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.

Small acts of kindness and gratitude can brighten someone's day and create a positive ripple effect. I will express gratitude to people or perform random acts of kindness to spread joy and connection.

I will take a 5-minute walk outside each day around my campus, neighborhood, or local green space to connect with nature.

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

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

I will replace 30 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.

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

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community or campus through clubs, service-learning, campus organizations, or other local events or opportunities.

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.
