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

To reduce CO2 emissions each day, I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I will watch 1 documentaries about climate change.

I will spend 60 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I will replace 20 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 spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

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

I will mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I will become a savvy produce shopper when buying organic and non-organic items.

Through my Earth Month Ecochallenge feed, I will share with others an environmentally friendly habit I have cultivated.

I will replace 4 incandescent light bulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.
