Cecelia Costa

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

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.
