I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact neighborhood walkability and express my support for better walking infrastructure.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 45 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will give 1 microloan(s) to women who need help starting a business.

I will start a compost bin where I live.

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 find out who in my city makes decisions that impact bike routes and express my support for better biking infrastructure.

I will avoid buying and using 1 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will save up to 15 gallons (56 L) of water a day or 450 gallons (1,680 L) a month by installing a low-flow showerhead.

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