I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community while observing best practices in my region for not spreading COVID-19.

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

I will use the resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

I will work from home 2 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will spend quality time with family and friends by playing low-tech game(s) and/or through the spirit of imagination.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

I will begin, or continue, on the journey of forgiving myself and/or other(s). I may do this through journaling, meditation, prayer, and/or talking with a licensed healthcare professional.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will spend 15 minutes nurturing my Self-Compassion.

Both systemic and personal sustainability are important! I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 2 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 3 gallons (11 L) of water per faucet every day.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

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 avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
