I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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

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

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

I will spend 30 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 40 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will join my neighborhood association, student government, or another local group of decision makers.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
