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

Talking about the great food options you still have and sharing those with your loved ones helps reduce stigma surrounding the choice to abstain from consuming animal products. Discussing how veganism is an ethical stance against exploitation of animals and humans, rather than just another fad diet, gets people thinking about their own impact and how their choices affect more than just themselves. Being open to having conversations about it and answering questions about "why" helps people understand the reasoning behind choosing to take this stance instead of them having to make assumptions based of what they have heard from others.

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

Each day, I will practice a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will use my social media only once per day.

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.
