I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 10 minute(s)

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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 watch 1 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 visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will volunteer 3 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

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

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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 disconnect from my email when not at work or school, using my personal time for endeavors that help me live out my values.
