Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and deterimine if it is right for me.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will spend 15 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minute(s) each day.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 5 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 10 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.
