We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

I will save up to 15 gal (56 L) of water a day or 450 gal (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors or classmates to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

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

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will take a 60-minute walk outside each day.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will enjoy 3 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients 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.
