Many common products contain harmful chemicals. I will spend 10 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 avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will spend 20 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will spend 25 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

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.

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 enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will spend at least 5 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

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.

Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being. I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will spend 5 minutes listening to a podcast about nature.

Talk to someone and try and make their day just a little bit better such as saying have a great day. Try to put a smile on someone's face.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day around my campus, neighborhood, or local green space to connect with nature.

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