Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 9 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

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

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 power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 per day.

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

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

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will walk 1 miles each day instead of driving.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will take a 1-minute walk outside each day around my campus, neighborhood, or local green space to connect with nature.
