INJIMA AWALE

Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.

I will avoid wasting water while waiting for the shower or sink to heat up.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

Regular health check-ups help prevent problems before they start. I will schedule or attend a medical, dental, or mental health check-up to take care of my well-being.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

Food waste hurts our planet and our communities. I will cook 2 meals with zero waste each day.

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

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
