Sahar O'Brien

I will spend 10 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will spend 5 minutes each day studying the toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products around my home.

I will replace 30 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 practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, peer, or someone who has a different experience/identity for 5 conversations per day.

For an upcoming vacation, I will plan a staycation in my region.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

Identify 1-2 things within your daily work that would improve Lam’s environmental impact. Share with your team or manager.
