I will avoid sending up to 0.42 lbs (0.19 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

I will replace 30 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will spend 15 minutes per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 3 conversations.
