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

I will watch 3 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I'm fighting with the city to create a permanent environnementale program to cleaning lake and planting shrubs that will continuously oxygenate a lake.

I will plant 50 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will spend 15 minute(s) per day practicing Mindfulness.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 3 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 15 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

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).

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.

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