Carola van Jaarsveld

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

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

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day.
