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

I will take a walk outside for 45 minutes each day.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will offer to help 3 person(s) who are in need each day.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 15 minute(s)

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 2 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.

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.
