Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 25 minute(s) each day.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend at least 120 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

I will spend 45 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

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 spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness.

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

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.
