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

I will watch 4 documentaries about climate change.

I will volunteer 4 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.

I will call my elected officials to ask about what they are doing regarding water issues in my region.

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.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 8 people about what I learned.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 1 people about what I learned.

I will make 1 phone calls and/or send 1 emails to public officials to advocate for water habitat protection and clean up in my region.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will watch 3 documentaries about food, water, or basic needs.

One kilogram of beef and cheese emits 71kg and 24kg of greenhouse gasses, while 1kg of rice, grains, and legumes emits between 2-4kg. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts emit less than 1kg per 1kg. I will reduce my climate impact by enjoying 2 meatless meals and/or 0 vegan meals each day this week.

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

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.

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

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

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.
