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

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

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

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 replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.
