Jill Hoople

I will replace 15 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard, or volunteer in my community: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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).

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, peer, or someone who has a different experience/identity for 10 conversations per day.

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

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