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

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

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 each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

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 6 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will replace 60 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 1 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.
