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

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

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

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

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 take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

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

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

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

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

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.

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