Whether by donating or volunteering, I will research the benefits of low-income solar and find out how I can support initiatives in my area.

I will shop at a small business owned or staffed by underrepresented members of my community.

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

I will spend 90 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and adopt at least one sustainable fashion practice.

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

I will spend 60 minutes learning about palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and other products known to contribute to deforestation, and replace or remove them.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant a few in my area.

Each day, I will spend 30 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.

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.

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