I will spend at least 15 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will keep 6 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

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 promote equity and support my community by purchasing items at 3 diverse- and/or locally-owned businesses.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

I will recycle 7 items at work and/or at home each day, making sure I review recycling program guidelines and only place accepted items that are clean, empty, and dry in the recycling bin.

I will select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

I will save up to 4 gallons (15 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 12oz of water each day. I will do this by drinking additional servings of water or by drinking water in place of other less healthy beverage options.

I will increase my step count by 500 each day and will take breaks from sitting by briefly getting up and moving once per hour during the day.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 3 locally-sourced meals.
