I will spend 10 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will spend at least 10 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 10 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

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.

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

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
