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 eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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.

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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

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

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend at least 60 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.
