I will spend 5 minutes learning about where my energy comes from.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

I will mend a piece of clothing for myself, family or friends.

Throughout the day, I will note the single-use plastics I use and consider the reusable options available to me.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

I will replace 5 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.
