Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 40 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

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

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste 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 try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.
