I will plant 21 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 20 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.

A community can be brought to its knees without dependable power, often affecting the most vulnerable. I will write 10 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 cook 6 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).
