I will watch a movie about a sustainability issue I would like to know more about.

I will watch a documentary film about food with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community this week.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will keep a journal this week as I observe ecological principles in action in my backyard, neighborhood or community.

This week, I will spend 20 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will tell 10 people why sustainability is important to me and what my vision for a sustainable world is.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) each day this week.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. This week, I'll say "no" to plastic bags at the store and plastic straws in all of my drinks.
