I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 15 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

Racial inequity is a sustainability problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will take a 15-minute walk outside each day.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will spend 30 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
