I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by participating in a training, workshop, or presentation.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.
