Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 10 minute(s) each day.

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 connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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 spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

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 food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 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 watch 1 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

I will spend at least 20 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.
