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

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

I will contact my local election office to volunteer during the upcoming election.

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 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 spend 2 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.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 5 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant a few in my area.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, which might include a park, water body, trail, etc.

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 spend 10 minutes listening to a podcast about nature.

I will replace 120 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 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.

I will volunteer 8 hour(s) for a nature-based event or another opportunity to support my community.
