I will spend 15 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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 native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

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.

A community can be brought to its knees without dependable power, often affecting the most vulnerable. I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for a more resilient power grid (e.g. microgrids, solar+storage).

I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.
