Rocio Diaz

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

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 75 minute(s) each day.

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

I will meet 1 new neighbor(s) each day.

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

I will offer to help 1 person(s) who are in need each day.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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 find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

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

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.
