At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant some in my area.

Throughout the day I will track my purchases and then research the companies making these goods.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the climate and natural disaster risks in my area.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

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 spend 30 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

I will replace 30 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.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

I will spend 5 minutes each day studying the toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products around my home.

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 spend 15 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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