Kyoti Tavarez

Through my social media channels, in person, or as an Earth Month Ecochallenge feed reflection, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

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 volunteer hour(s) in my community.

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.

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 60 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

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

I will learn about local, national and international climate action organizations that I could join and connect with one or more.
