I will take a 45-minute walk outside each day.

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

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will disconnect from my email when not working or studying.

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

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

I will keep 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

Both system and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.
