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

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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

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 spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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 spend at least 30 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 use the resource links provided and spend 15 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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
