I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work or on campus.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

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

I will spend 60 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will watch 3 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 purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.

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

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 45 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.

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

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.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will enjoy 2 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.
