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

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 spend 20 minutes learning about my food supply chains, and complete a food waste audit.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about voter access and equity. And if applicable, I will register to vote, ask someone I trust to help me register, or help others register.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group of decision makers.

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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. digital/virtual attendance, vacation without air travel).

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

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

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 maintain a record of all my purchases and identify my spending habits.

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 cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

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 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 10 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant a few in my area.

I will volunteer 2 hour(s) for a nature-based event or another opportunity to support my community.
