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

I will spend 10 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day.
