I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will use seaweed in a new recipe.

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

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.

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

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

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

I will use public transit 16 miles per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will visit a coastal or ocean site to experience the ecosystem and look for the presence of macroalgae/seaweed.
