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.

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

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

I will enjoy 4 meatless meal(s) and/or 4 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

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

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

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

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.
