Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

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

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend at least 15 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will spend one day each week using no additional electricity (e.g. lights, computer, charging, TV...) This will help with simpler living, quality time with my partner, and saving electricity.
