I will host a house party with 15 friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on an environmental issue that matters to me.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

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

I will spend 90 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

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

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.

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 save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will take a walk for 15 minutes each day.
