I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 0 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

Of nearly 44 million U.S. renter households in 2019, more than 45% paid rent equal to 30% or more of their gross household income. I will spend 15 minutes learning about a renters bill of rights and affordable housing.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily rest during work days to practice work-life balance.

I will volunteer to tutor in my community at least once this month.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, peer, or someone who has a different experience/identity for 4 conversations per day.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero waste each day.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).
