Linda Kealey

I will mend a piece of clothing for myself, family or friends.

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 practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, peer, or someone who has a different experience/identity for 3 conversations per day.

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

I will spend 18 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

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 8 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will spend 8 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

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).
