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 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 take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

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.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

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

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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.
