Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 15 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

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 switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 45 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

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 plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

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

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.
