I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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

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.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will watch 1 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 use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

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