I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 1 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.

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.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

I will replace 30 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.
