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.

In my community, I will volunteer at a community shelter, food pantry or soup kitchen.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

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

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will spend 20 minutes each day studying the toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies, personal care, and pet products around my home.

I will replace 15 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.

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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the climate and natural disaster risks in my area.
