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 spend 15 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

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

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

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

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 use public transit 2 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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