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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 15 minute(s) each day.

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

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 use the resource links provided and spend 60 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

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 spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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