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

I will spend 5 minutes researching and shopping from 1 businesses owned by women, people of color, or immigrants.

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.

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

I will use public transit 14 miles per day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will source 3 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 20 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will start a compost or worm bin where I live.
