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 calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

Each day, I will practice a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

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 spend 240 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.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about voter access and equity. And if applicable, I will register to vote, ask someone I trust to help me register, or help others register.

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

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. digital/virtual attendance, vacation without air travel).

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group of decision makers.

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

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food.

I will enjoy 6 meatless meal(s) and/or 6 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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.
