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

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

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.

Each day, I will engage in a sharing economy among my family, friends, and neighbors.

I will spend 30 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

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 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 volunteer hour(s) in my community.

I will volunteer to tutor in my community at least once this month.

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

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 spend 30 minutes learning about the climate and natural disaster risks in my area.

I will do one or more of the following actions in my yard, or volunteer in my community: plant indigenous plants, landscape with water-efficient plants, add mulching, replace a lawn, and/or use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about where my energy comes from.

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about equitable food access and how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about induction cooking and consider if I could add this to my food prep methods.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

Haz el ejercicio de calcular tu huella de carbono, si puedes hazlo en unión con tu familia y seamos concientes de nuestras acciones

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

En este tiempo en casa, trata de revisar qué puedes modificar desde casa, puedes comprar un garrafón ecológico y dejar de usar plásticos, o tal vez haz un kit de desechables que puedas tener en tu auto para disminuir tu consumo de plásticos
