I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

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 try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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.

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

I will replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 10 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 20 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.
