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.

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

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

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

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 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).

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.

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

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.
