One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day this week.

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

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 replace 60 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 60 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

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

I will watch 3 documentaries about climate change.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will replace 6 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

I will watch 1 documentaries about education or work.
