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 contact 20 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests, improves their ability to sequester carbon, and supports biodiversity.

I will volunteer 8 hour(s) for a nature-based event or another opportunity to support my community.

I will cook 6 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

I will enjoy 6 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will reduce food waste, excess carbon and save money by planning my daily and weekly menus so that I only purchase the ingredients needed.

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

In support of Imagine a Day Without Water, please take a moment to imagine you had to go a day without water. Which of your daily activities would not be possible?

I will spend at least 10 minutes using the resources provided to learn about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

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.
