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

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

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

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

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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 spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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