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.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service or organize car sharing with my neighbors or classmates to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.

I will keep track and reduce my consumption of refined sugars, including sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.
