Andrea Cruz

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community.

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 make a few homemade cleaning products.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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

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

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 spend 20 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.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

I will replace 30 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.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).
