I will spend 90 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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

I will replace 8 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will watch 2 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 make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 15 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

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