Environmental issues often impact marginalized communities the most. I will spend 45 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

Adding fruits and vegetables to our meals nourishes our body and the planet. I will prepare and enjoy 2 servings of a variety of colorful fruits and veggies.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with durable non-plastic options.

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

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 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.

Read about community solar - what it is, and whether it would be a good option for me.

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

I will source 1 meals each day from local producers.
