I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

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 decide which social or environmental issue in my community is most important to me and tell 2 friends and/or classmates each day about the issue.

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

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

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