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

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

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 100 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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 spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home or dorm room.

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