Samantha Stapp

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

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

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

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

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

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.
