I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

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

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

I will spend 5 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 6 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will install a greywater catchment system in my home.

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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