I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 120 minute(s)

I will spend 20 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day by installing a low-flow showerhead.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

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

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will spend at least 60 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
