I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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.

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

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

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

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

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

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

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 enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
