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 cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 120 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will spend 25 minutes learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

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

I will support a community garden by volunteering, donating, or advocating for a new or existing one.

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

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

I will spend at least 25 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

Each day, I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about sustainable aquaculture.

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 spend at least 30 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

Using Drawdown's Job Function Action Guide, I will learn about climate actions I can take at work.

Each day, I will spend at least 5 minutes learning more about how bottom-trawling impacts on the seafloor.

I tend to buy food that is prepared at the store that is packed in plastic containers for ease of access but oftentimes I won't finish all of the food before it goes bad. I will make the conscious decision to choose less foods that are packed in plastic packaging so that I am not wasting food and creating plastic waste. This specifically refers to pre-cut fruit and sometimes ready meals.
