If I buy a plane ticket, I will purchase a carbon offset.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about carbon offsets, and why they are a necessary solution in combating a climate crisis.

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

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

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 spend at least 5 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of micro wind.

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.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of wave and tidal energy.

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

I will set up a visit or a virtual tour of a green roof in my city, and ask about the codes and process for installing a green roof.
