Access to affordable, nutritious food is a food justice issue. I will advocate for equitable food options at work, campus, or in the spaces I frequent by contacting community leaders and/or doing other advocacy actions.

I will watch 1 documentaries about equity, gender, health, or peace.

I will contact my energy company to find out how to sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will replace 3 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will replace manual thermostats with smart ones.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will watch 10 documentaries about climate change.

Each day, I will spend 5 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 1 people about what I learned.

I will replace 5 minute(s) per day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, or practicing gratitude for nature.

I will use the communication methods I read about to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly (i.e., my roommate, parents, co-worker, partner, classmates, or children).

Each day, I will spend time developing a readiness plan for my household in the event of an emergency.

I spend 14 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.

I will watch 1 documentaries about economy, energy, or industry.
