I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will journal each day about my experiences in nature.

I will spend 60 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
