Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

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

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 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 sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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.
