I will spend 2 minutes learning about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

Using the Seafood Watch guide, I will feature a sustainable seafood ingredient in a new recipe.

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 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 avoid buying and using 1 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

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 use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

I will spend at least 2 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of micro wind.

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 2 minutes learning about sustainable aquaculture.

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.

I will plan ahead to use paper products only made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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.
