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

I will replace 20 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 watch 3 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

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 spend 5 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.

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