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

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 spend 30 minutes learning about how and where to dispose of medications and chemicals properly.

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

Of nearly 44 million U.S. renter households in 2019, more than 45% paid rent equal to 30% or more of their gross household income. I will spend 30 minutes learning about a renters bill of rights and affordable housing.

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.

I will replace 120 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 30 minutes learning about my watershed and the particular water issues my region faces.

I will enjoy 3 meatless meal(s) and/or 3 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero waste each day.
