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

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 use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
