I will spend 30 minutes finding out how to recycle in my region, where landfills and/or waste sites are situated in my region, and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will spend 10 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 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 spend 10 minutes learning about palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and other products known to contribute to deforestation, and replace or remove them.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

Each day, I will spend 5 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, which might include a park, water body, trail, etc.

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.
