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 3 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

I will cook 1 meals with zero waste each day.

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

I will volunteer 8 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.

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 120 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.

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

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.
