I will avoid sending 10 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend 30 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

I will spend 30 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

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

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

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.

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