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.

I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard, or volunteer in my community: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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 some in my area.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

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

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily rest during work days to practice work-life balance.

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 spend 15 minutes learning about water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

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

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.
