I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will spend 20 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

Access to public transportation is a social justice issue! I will learn about the need for public transportation in my community and tell 2 friends or classmates each day about the issue.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

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

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