Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will spend 20 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 3 conversations.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.

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

I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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.
