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

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.
