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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

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

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 1 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

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 spend 20 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

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

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.
