Beth's actions
Cultivating Communities
Practice a Sharing Economy
Each day, I will engage in a sharing economy among my family, friends, and neighbors.
Balancing Consumption
Develop a Work-Life Balance
During the work day, I will schedule time for breaks to practice work-life balance.
Balancing Consumption
Less Screen Time
I will replace 60 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.
Balancing Consumption
Repair a Broken Item
I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.
Regenerating Nature
Take Shorter Showers
I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute or less showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.
Enacting Equity
Learn About Accessible & Equitable Voter Registration
I will spend 30 minutes learning about voter access and equity. And if applicable, I will register to vote, ask someone I trust to help me register, or help others register.
