I will spend 15 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

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

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me each day to raise my awareness of how much waste I produce.

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

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

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.

For an upcoming vacation, I will plan a staycation in my region.

I will volunteer to tutor in my community at least once this month.

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

I will volunteer hour(s) in my community.

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

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.

I will learn about local, national and international climate action organizations that I could join and connect with one or more.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

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