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 20 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about how and where to dispose of medications and chemicals properly.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant some in my area.

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 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.

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

I will mend a piece of clothing for myself, family or friends.

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

I will spend 5 minutes learning about where my energy comes from.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about gender diversity.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, peer, or someone who has a different experience/identity for 5 conversations per day.
