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

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.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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

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