I will take a walk outside for 30 minutes each day.

I will disconnect from my email when not at work or school, using my personal time for endeavors that help me live out my values.

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

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will enjoy 3 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.
