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

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.

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

I will watch 3 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 diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

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 eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

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 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 use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

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

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