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

I will spend 60 minutes learning about these SDGs.

I will volunteer hour(s) in my community.

I will replace 60 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 spend 15 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

I will spend 60 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

"Mushroom Madness" will take place on April 6th at 1:00pm, on the third floor of the library (room L-307). Learn how mushrooms can be a solution to plastic waste.

Read a library book that covers either SDG #13 (Climate Action), #14 (Life Below Water), or #15 (Life on Land). Ask the librarian for help to find relevant titles.

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 spend 30 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

Tired of overcrowded and infrequent buses? Let's improve public transit by sending your concerns to the STM. Let them know that the 419 needs to be addressed. Write to them based on your own frustrating experiences with this line.

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

Celebrate Earth Day in the Agora on Thursday April 21 from 10am-3pm! Pick up some seedlings, learn how to make a seed bomb, learn about cycling, and much more!
