I will spend 30 minutes learning about the climate impact of refrigerants and what climate-friendly refrigerants are by using the links below.

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

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 commute by carpool 16 miles per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

I will take a walk for 45 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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