Audrey Simoes (104)

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 20 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will replace 60 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 45 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

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

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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