Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 40 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 30 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 3 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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.
