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

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.

I will commute by bike 1 miles each day and get my muscles moving while avoiding sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Studies show a grass lawn is water intensive and on average it require about 30 percent of a household’s water consumption. I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard or community to conserve water and improve habitat: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will plant pollinator-friendly plants in my area to support local pollinators.

I will volunteer 6 hours in my community.

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

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

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.
