I will watch 5 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend 2 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

Drive with other people instead of in your own car.

I will take a 7-minute walk outside each day.

I will host a watch party to screen a documentary about an issue that matters to me.

I will meet 1 new neighbor(s) each day.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will spend 38 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.
