I will spend 5 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

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.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

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

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.
