I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend at least 80 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

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

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

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will spend 120 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 80 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 30 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 120 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
