Action Track
Take an alternative mode of transportation
Road transportation is one of the largest sources of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions globally (~12%). Alternative modes of transportation can have a significant impact in reducing the negative impacts of internal combustion and drive systemic change. I will take an alternative mode of transportation like (e)bike, bus or light rail for at least one trip that I would have used my (gasoline or diesel) car for.
Personal
Reduce Refined Sugar
Cutting back on refined sugar can improve energy, mood, and overall health. I will limit my intake of sugary snacks and drinks by reducing refined sugar in meals or snacks each day.
Personal
Exercise Daily
Daily movement supports our physical and mental health. I will spend 30 minutes each day exercising in a way that feels good to me, such as walking, running, stretching, or dancing.

Sarai Moreno 4/23/2026 9:51 AMHonestly, being consistent with exercise isn’t as easy as it sounds 😅. Some days I don’t feel like it, but little by little you get used to it. I don’t always do a lot, but just not quitting already feels like a win 💪✨-
Roberto Cañedo 4/23/2026 9:58 AM- Community Builder 🤝
There’s a very simple technique that can help you get started without overthinking: the 5 Second Rule.
Every time you have the thought of exercising, instead of letting your mind come up with excuses, you count backwards 5-4-3-2-1 and move right away.
For example, if you’re sitting down and thinking about going for a run, once you finish the countdown you stand up and put on your sneakers.
It’s not about doing the whole workout in 5 seconds, but about taking the first step before laziness shows up.
