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.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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

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

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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 30 minutes learning about these SDGs.

I will develop a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.
