Taylor Gasparino

I will volunteer hour(s) in my community.

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

I will spend 30 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

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).

Each day, I will make my sustainable actions visible through a lawn sign, bumper sticker, pin, t-shirt, social media or other ways.

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

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

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

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.).

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

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.

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

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