At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

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

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will spend 60 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 eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.
