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

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

I will volunteer 2 hours in my community.

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.

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

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 30 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 watch 2 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

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 carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me each day to raise my awareness of how much waste I produce.

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.

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

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 education or work.

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

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

I will replace 45 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 make a few homemade cleaning products.

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.

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 replace 5 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

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.

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