Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water per faucet every day.

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 visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 25 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

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