Jourdan Bruce

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 spend 10 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

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.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

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

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

We may find more meaning and joy in life when our actions are aligned with our personal values. I will determine what my top 3-5 core values are so that I can better align my actions with them.

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

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

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