I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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 sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will replace manual thermostats with programmable ones.

I will spend at least 30 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.
