I will spend 15 about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 15 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

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

I will watch 1 documentaries 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 try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will plant 3 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 5 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

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

I will limit my social media use to once per day and share the impact I see and reflections I have on the feed.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.
