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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.
