I will advocate for zero waste efforts.

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

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about food apartheid and find out how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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 make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

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

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.

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

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.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

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 reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 3 container(s) out of the landfill each day.
