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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about where my energy comes from.

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

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

I will spend 10 minutes learning about how and where to dispose of medications and chemicals properly.

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).

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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 the climate and natural disaster risks in my area.

During the day, I will schedule 2 conversations per day to chat with my friends about my actions and learning during Earth Month.
