Anna Kurth

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 de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home or dorm room.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 60 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 adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 45 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

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 explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

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

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

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

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

I will spend 20 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

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