I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

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

I will refuse 2 of single-use paper or plastic bags each day by bringing my own reusable bags or carrying purchased goods another way.
