I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will organize one of NWEI's discussion courses on food sustainability, 'Menu for the Future' or 'Hungry for Change', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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

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 collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

I will watch 2 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 plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

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

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day.
