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

I will commute by carpool 40 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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 become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

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

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.

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

I will write to a school, community learning center, or education leader I admire to express my thanks for their sustainability work and find out how I can get involved.
