I will spend 10 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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 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.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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 eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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

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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

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 get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

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