I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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 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 tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will host a house party with 5 friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.

I will spend 15 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will spend 15 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

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

I will use the resource links provided and spend 20 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will spend at least 20 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
