Christine Saunders

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

I will write down three things every day for two weeks that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

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

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will limit my social media use to once per day.
