I will visit seafoodwatch.org and download the app to commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

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

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 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 watch Drawdown’s Climate Solutions 101 and share what I learned with others.

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

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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 support a community garden by volunteering, donating, or advocating for a new or existing one.

I will improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or implementing some other small improvement.

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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