Throughout the day, I will note the single-use plastics I use and consider the reusable options available to me.

Each day, I will spend 30 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

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 spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about these SDGs.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about how and where to dispose of medications and chemicals properly.

I will replace 45 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 10 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

Using Seafood Watch's list, I will enjoy sustainable seafood meal(s) each day.
