I will volunteer 8 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.

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

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

I spend 15 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 spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.

Each day, I will spend 15 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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.

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