Gretchen Young

I will disconnect from my email when not at work or school, using my personal time for endeavors that help me live out my values.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

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

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
