I will use solar lights at home and on the go to reduce energy consumption each day. I chose this because I can not install solar panels but I can use a portable solar generator to run lights and charge the phone. While out and about I can use a solar light to cut out the use of batteries for waste.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

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 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 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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

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

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 upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

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