I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

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.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will spend at least 5 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 45 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will plant 2 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will spend at least 90 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.
