Each day, I will spend time developing a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

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.

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

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

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

I will spend 15 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will watch 2 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.

Each day, I will spend 5 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 4 people about what I learned.
