I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

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

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.

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 avoid sending disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will spend minutes learning about food deserts and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will replace incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will watch 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.

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