I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 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.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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 join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will spend at least 30 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 spend 15 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.
