In addition to cleanups, I'd like to contribute to the restoration of our native plants in my community. As a someone who moved to this state, I would like to learn more about the plants native and beneficial to this land while also helping to maintain the ecosystem.

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

Check action if 90% of your transportation usage each day is sustainable/low-emission. This includes: walking/running, biking/e-bikes/velomobiles, public transportation, electric/Hydrogen car, carpooling. As much as possible, don't fly or use gas cars. ............................................................... STATS: Road travel accounts for ~75% of transport emissions. Most of this comes from passenger vehicles – cars and buses – which contribute 45.1%. The other 29.4% comes from trucks carrying freight. Since the entire transport sector accounts for 21% of total emissions, and road transport accounts for three-quarters of transport emissions, road transport accounts for 15% of total global CO2 emissions.

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers. Tip: Use a timer to practice or count to 60 a few times.

I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

Within my community at home or work, I will organize or attend a local cleanup event.

I will spend 25 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I will replace 15 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 make a few homemade cleaning products.

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

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

Check this action if each day you have saved all of the trash and recycling that your household produces. At the end of the month, examine the amount of trash/recycling accumulated and make a plan to reduce this amount going forward!

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

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will watch 2 documentaries about climate change.
