I will spend one to two hours learning about climate change impact on coral reefs. The oceans are the heat sink of the world, they slow down the full effects of greenhouse gas warming of the atmosphere. Coral reefs are at the front line of being impacted by global warming and are currently one of the most threatened ecosystems on Earth.

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 spend 15 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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

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.

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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.
