Whether by donating or volunteering, I will research the benefits of low-income solar and find out how I can support initiatives in my area.

I will spend 20 learning about the past and present indigenous or first nation communities in my regions impacted by colonization, and what I can do to be supportive.

I will shop at a small business owned or staffed by underrepresented members of my community.

I will watch 1 documentaries about racism and racial injustice.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. digital/virtual attendance, vacation without air travel).

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

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.

During the work day, I will schedule time for breaks to practice work-life balance.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about my food supply chains, and complete a food waste audit.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and other products known to contribute to deforestation, and replace or remove them.

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, work, or other shared space to identify the next steps for saving energy.

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.

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

I will volunteer 1 hour(s) for a nature-based event or another opportunity to support my community.
