I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Ride the blue bus instead of driving a personal car!

I will not travel for meetings and will instead conduct them virtually.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

What can lack of access to nutritious food affect a community? How can having access to nutritious food help a community become more resilient?

I will spend 60 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 10 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

Live in the spirit of Do It In The Dark: turn off the lights, air dry your clothes, or take a shorter shower!

I will watch 2 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 enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
