I will spend 10 minutes each day trying out climate anxiety resources that support mental and psychological well being.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 20 minutes each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will replace 30 minutes each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

Flying emits a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere, which affects air quality and the health of our planet, animals, and people. If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will commute by bike 4 miles each day and avoid sending CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will take a walk each day.

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.
