I will use the resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

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

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

As I exercise I will think about the things I can do and be grateful for it, practice it, and see results of good mental/physical health in the end. When I am done exercising I will meditate for 20 minutes.

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 100 minute(s) each day.

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 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.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 5 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.
