I will spend 60 minutes listening to a podcast about equity and justice.

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 7 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

I will try to shop at a farmers market or food co-op, if one is accessible, to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will mulch the base of trees or plants near my dorm, apartment, or school garden to reduce runoff and help soil retain water.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill. I will share a photo and reflection of this action on the feed.

I will spend 5 minutes exploring how I can grow plants in my space—whether it’s a dorm windowsill, apartment patio, or a shared campus garden.

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.

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.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI) if available to me through campus or local clinics.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will replace 15 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.

I will spend 30 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

Many common products contain harmful chemicals. I will spend 60 minutes researching chemicals found in products I use, and I will make a list of products I'd like to replace with safer options.

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

Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon or energy calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their living space.

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 try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

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