I will enjoy 6 meatless meal(s) and/or vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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 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.

I will reflect on how I am feeling and express myself through writing, art, music, physical activity, or another creative way to enhance well-being

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will improve hydration by drinking an additional 20oz 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 schedule coffee breaks, lunches, and/or check-in meetings with 4 coworkers to promote connectivity in my workplace.

I will keep 10 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.

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

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
