I will spend 60 learning about the past and present indigenous or first nation communities in my regions impacted by colonization, and what I can do to be supportive.

Each day, I will find one or more items I can donate to a local thrift or resale shop.

Each day, I will go on a plog or plalk for minute(s) and collect items of litter.

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

I will replace 30 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.

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

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 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.
