I will volunteer hour(s) in my community.

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 watch this 30 minute free course through the UN Global Compact Academy to learn more about the SDGs and how to take action.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily rest during work days to practice work-life balance.

Using Seafood Watch's list, I will enjoy 1 sustainable seafood meal(s) each day.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about gender diversity.

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