I will volunteer hour(s) in my community.

Of nearly 44 million U.S. renter households in 2019, more than 45% paid rent equal to 30% or more of their gross household income. I will spend 10 minutes learning about a renters bill of rights and affordable housing.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about equitable food access and how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

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.

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

Each day, I will spend 5 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

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

I will spend 8 minutes learning about these SDGs.
