I will replace 20 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 spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will write to a school, community learning center, or education leader I admire to express my thanks for their sustainability work and find out how I can get involved.

On average, a tree absorbs 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of carbon dioxide yearly during the first 20 years. To do my part, I will plant 1 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

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

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

Each day, I will spend 20 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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

I will call my elected officials to ask what they are doing regarding equitable gender participation and representation in my region.

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