Jodie Owens

For an upcoming vacation, I will spend 30 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 become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

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.
