I will use the resource links provided and spend 50 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 take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.
