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.

Of nearly 44 million U.S. renter households in 2019, more than 45% paid rent equal to 30% or more of their gross household income. I will spend 60 minutes learning about a renters bill of rights and affordable housing.

I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

I will volunteer hour(s) in my community.

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 equitable food access and how I can advocate for healthy and fresh food in my region.

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

I will replace 20 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.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant some in my area.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

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

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the climate and natural disaster risks in my area.

Each day, I will spend 20 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).
