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

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

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 water justice and find out how I can get involved in local initiatives.

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about these SDGs.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.
