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 use my social media only once per day.

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

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

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and other products known to contribute to deforestation, and replace or remove them.

I will watch 1 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.

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 spend 2 minutes each day trying out climate anxiety resources that support mental and psychological well being.

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