Megan Hawthorne

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 offer to help 2 person(s) who are in need each day.

I will replace 25 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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

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

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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 adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will watch 2 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.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 40 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
