Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will take a walk for 25 minutes each day.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

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

I will tend to a garden each day, work on starting one, or find a local community garden to get involved with.

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will spend 15 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home or dorm room.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will spend 30 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will spend 30 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.
