Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will spend 19 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 20 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

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

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will host a house party with 1 friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.

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 raise money to support Northwest Earth Institute or another local nonprofit.

I will spend at least 5 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.
