I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 60 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will cook 1 meals with zero-waste each day.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning more about the environmental services provided by and the environmental issues affecting temperate forests.

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.

I will watch Drawdown’s Climate Solutions 101 and share what I learned with others.

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

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

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

I will spend 5 minutes learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

I will explore the interactive map in the links below to find a supermarket that does not use HFC refrigerants near my home.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions, and opting out of junk mail.
