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

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.

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

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 60 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 30 minute(s)

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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