I will replace 10 minutes per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will spend 10 minutes per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

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

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.

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.

Good sleep is essential for a healthy body and mind. I will prioritize getting 8 hours of quality sleep each night and develop a bedtime routine that supports rest and relaxation.

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

I will only check my email during school or study hours, using my personal time for activities that support my well-being and align with my values.

I will create healthier school-life balance habits by setting boundaries around classwork, study time, and rest to support my well-being.

Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 2 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 2 containers out of the landfill each day.
