I will watch 10 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

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 5 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 60 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to 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.

Greenhouse gases found in old refrigerants are up to 10,900 times more potent than carbon dioxide. I will help eliminate these gases through the purchase of offset credits to ensure we all have a planet we can thrive on.
