There are so many products that may not consider personal health and the planet together. I am seeking alternatives to certain products to reduce my impact on the world around me while minimizing toxins that could enter it.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about these SDGs.

During the day, I will schedule 2 conversations per day to chat with my friends about my actions and learning during Earth Month.

I will spend 5 minutes learning about invasive species and ways to reduce their impacts.

Each day, I will spend 20 minutes exploring a new area around my neighborhood (e.g., park, water body, nearby trail, community garden, green space, etc.).

I will visit ewg.org to learn about and use their Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen produce lists.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 20 minutes researching which plants support local pollinators and plant some in my area.

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

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing or my current investment portfolio to determine if they align with my values.

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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).

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero waste each day.
