I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will replace 45 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

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

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

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 spend 30 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

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

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.
