I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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 write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
