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 install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

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

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 1 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

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

I will organize one of Ecochallenge.org's discussion courses, such as 'Reconnecting with Earth', with my family, friends, coworkers, or classmates.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will journal each day about my experiences in nature.

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

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.
