Olena Sytar

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

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

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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 find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

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

I will plant 2 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
