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 watch 1 documentaries about racism and racial injustice.

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 spend 5 minutes learning about my food supply chains, and complete a food waste audit.

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

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.

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 30 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.
