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

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

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

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.

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

I will take a 60-minute walk outside each day.

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 enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.

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