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.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant some in my area.

I will spend 30 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.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about how and where to dispose of medications and chemicals properly.

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

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

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