Using Seafood Watch's list, I will enjoy 1 sustainable seafood meals each day.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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.

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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally). As an example, a plane from New York to Los Angeles (~2,450 miles) generates about 65 tons of carbon dioxide.

I will cook 2 meals with zero waste each day.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 60 minutes planning out a staycation in my region. For reference, one several hour flight releases the equivalent of nearly 14% of the annual emissions from a car.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

I will install a heat pump in my home or business.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I spend 30 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 find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

I will spend 5 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

Access to public transportation enables more opportunity and a better quality of life. I will make 1 phone calls and/or send 1 emails per day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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 2 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will contact my energy company to find out how to sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

Each day, I will engage in a sharing economy among my family, friends, and neighbors. A sharing economy is when goods and services are shared between individuals though peer and community networks.

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

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 3 people about what I learned.

I will call my elected officials to ask about what they are doing regarding water issues in my region.

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

I will have a conversation with one or more nonprofit organizations I want to be involved with.
