Meditate
I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 20 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
Simplicity
Eat Mindfully
I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.
Health
Eliminate Toxic Plastics
I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
Health
Healthy Sleep
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.
Create Your Own Action
Pick up 2 pieces of plastic per day
It makes a huge different if everyone would pick up one peace of plastic/trash from the streets everyday. Not everyone is doing that so let's do it twice :)
