I will spend 30 minutes learning about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

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

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 spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.

I will spend at least 30 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will complete a plastics audit to see where plastics show up in my life and determine how I can reduce the use of single-use plastics.

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

I will avoid buying and using 10 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

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 learn about sustainable fashion and begin practicing it in my own life.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.
