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

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

I will spend 60 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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 replace 8 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 3 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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