I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

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 spend 5 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

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

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 spend at least 5 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 spend 5 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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

I will take a 5-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
