I will watch 10 documentaries about racism and racial injustice.

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 assess the vehicles used by my company, college, or city and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.

Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for equitable food options at work, campus, or in the spaces I frequent by contacting community leaders and/or doing other advocacy actions.

I will cook 3 meal(s) with zero-waste each day.

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

I will reduce food waste, excess carbon and save money by planning my daily and weekly menus so that I only purchase the ingredients needed.

Each day, I will spend 15 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood, which might include a park, water body, trail, etc.

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 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 contact 10 congress people or representatives to advocate for public policy that protects forests, improves their ability to sequester carbon, and supports biodiversity.
