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 keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 spend 20 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

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

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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

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

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 120 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 5 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
