I will spend at least 120 minutes learning about green gentrification and how it relates to city planning for climate action.

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

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will replace 09 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

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

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 bike 10 miles each day and avoid sending up to (___) lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

Sometimes protecting nature requires feeling connected to nature. I will invest 300 minutes in exploring and appreciating a natural area in my region, whether a forest, wetland, coastal area, or somewhere else.

I will plant 16 trees in my community, public parks, or backyard.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching how people can build with carbon-storing materials - including agricultural byproducts - and discuss it with my peers or post to social media.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

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