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

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will take a walk each day to clear my mind, get some fresh air, and support my physical and mental health as a student.

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 8 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

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

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

Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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.
