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.

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

I will decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 4 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.

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

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will travel by a hybrid or electric vehicle to lower my carbon footprint.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
