Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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 use the resource links provided below and spend 25 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, neighbors, or classmates.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
