I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant some in my area.

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 cook 1 meal(s) with zero waste each day.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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

Each day, I will spend 20 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will spend 5 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about these SDGs.

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

There are so many products that may not consider personal health and the planet together. I am seeking alternatives to certain products to reduce my impact on the world around me while minimizing toxins that could enter it.
