I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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.

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

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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 replace 45 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

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 use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
