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 replace 10 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

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

I will use an energy meter to monitor my energy use and identify opportunities to save power.

I will replace 5 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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.
