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

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend at least 60 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 collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will use solar lights at home and on the go to reduce energy consumption each day. I chose this because I can not install solar panels but I can use a portable solar generator to run lights and charge the phone. While out and about I can use a solar light to cut out the use of batteries for waste.
