I will replace 15 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

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.

Each of us has a water footprint, directly linked to our daily activities as well as the water required in the production of things we use each day. Understanding our water use is important for a healthy planet. I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste, then share what I learned on the feed.

Knowing our carbon footprint is the first step to reducing it. I will calculate my carbon impact and identify lifestyle changes that could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment. I will share my commitments to lowering my impact on the feed.

I will replace 60 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.

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

Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 20 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.
