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

I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.

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.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will watch 2 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

Each day, I will spend time developing a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

I will watch 2 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

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.

I will watch 2 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will spend 30 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I spend 10 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.

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

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

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.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for 10 minutes and collect 5 items of litter.
