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

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 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

Each day, I will spend 60 minutes learning about sustainable fashion so that I can engage in this practice.

I will learn about local, national and international climate action organizations that I could join and connect with one or more.

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about where my energy comes from.

Through my social media channels, in person, or as an Earth Month Ecochallenge feed reflection, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about my watershed and the particular water issues my region faces.

I will replace 20 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 develop a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.
