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.

I will spend 30 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 60 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 spend 30 minutes researching the impact of old harmful refrigerants on our environment.

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

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

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

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.

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

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

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

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
