Samantha Proffitt

I will source 3 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

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

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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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

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.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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 save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will spend at least 20 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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