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

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 practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, peer, or someone who has a different experience/identity for 45 conversations per day.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me each day to raise my awareness of how much waste I produce.

For an upcoming vacation, I will plan a staycation in my region.

I will replace 120 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.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.
