I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will replace 3 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 3 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.

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.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.
