I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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.

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.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 30 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.
