I will spend 15 minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will spend at least 15 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 prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 3 minute(s) each day.

I will use public transit 6 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 140.86 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 15 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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.

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.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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