I will spend at least 20 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

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 watch 2 documentaries about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.

Wars and conflicts have devastating consequences—not only for people and communities, but also for ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate. I will spend 60 minutes learning about how war and conflict impact human rights, displacement, and environmental degradation. I’ll explore how peace, justice, and strong institutions are linked to sustainability and resilience.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.

I will replace 30 minutes of screen time each day with other activities.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will take a walk each day.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

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 native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

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 avoid sending up to 0.42 lbs (0.19 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (e.g., telepresence, vacation locally).

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
