Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) 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.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 20 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

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

Access to public transportation enables more opportunity and a better quality of life. I will make 2 phone call(s) and/or send 2 emails per day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.
