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

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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.

I will spend 30 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

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 meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.
