Many of us want to make changes in our lives that will benefit the environment. From shopping less on Amazon, replacing single-use plastics in your life, or ditching fast fashion, the intention is there but sometimes it can be hard to get started, maintain a new behavior, or change old patterns.

This summer, we invite you to participate in our Summer of Sustainable Change series. Under the direction of professor, psychologist, and Eco-Leader Dr. Kelly Kandra Hughes and using best practices from motivation theory, behavior change, and neuroscience, the core component of this program is for participants to target one specific environmentally conscious behavior they would like to change. So no matter where you are in your journey towards more sustainable living, this program will help you progress in the right direction.

The ”textbook” for this 7-week program will be Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear. Every week, we’ll meet to discuss readings from Clear’s book with a sustainability lens and personalized feedback provided to participants on a weekly basis for their particular sustainability goal. Together we’ll figure out the best ways to make tiny changes in our daily lives so we can collectively create positive change for our planet!
