Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
