I will spend 5 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

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

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

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

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

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 collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will use the resource links provided below and spend 45 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 write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will spend 10 minute(s) per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

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.

I will replace 15 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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.
