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 implementing some other small improvement.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching other Drawdown Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Solutions.

I will spend 10 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Solutions.

I will spend at least 25 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will spend at least 25 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by participating in a training, workshop, or presentation.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about green gentrification and how it relates to city planning for climate action.

I will take a walk for 10 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out if anyone is working on perennial biomass projects in my region and how I can get involved.

I will source 30 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

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

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
