I will contact my local election office to volunteer during the upcoming election.

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

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.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.

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

Each day, I will spend 20 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, which might include a park, water body, trail, etc.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant a few in my area.

I will replace 20 minute(s) per day typically spent inside and often with electronics with quality time outside walking, exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, observing nature, or practicing gratitude for nature.
