I will visit Tradewater’s website to learn more about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

I will take a walk for 45 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

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.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

Through social media, I will raise awareness about gender inequity in education by sharing the information found in the links below.

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.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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

Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their household.

I will plant 5 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.
