What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

I will spend 5 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness.

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

I will raise money to support Ecochallenge.org or another nonprofit.

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) in my community during the challenge.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.

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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will spend 5 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
