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 connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will host a watch party to screen a documentary about an issue that matters to me.

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

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

I will spend 30 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

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

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

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

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

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.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace, dorm, or elsewhere on campus.

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

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

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

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