Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

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

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 keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 60 minute(s)

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.
