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

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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.

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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will work from home 20 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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

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