I will call or write 1 public official(s) each day to advocate for more green spaces around my town.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

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.

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 replace 10 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will meet 1 new neighbor(s) each day.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

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 plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will source 2 meal(s) each day from local producers.
