Each day, I will track my purchases to identify my spending habits. This will allow me to see what purchases can be reduced.

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 replace 4 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 spend 4 learning about the past and present indigenous communities in my regions and what I can do to be supportive.

I will spend 5 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will call my elected officials to ask what they are doing regarding equitable gender participation and representation in my region.

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 make a few homemade cleaning products.

I will watch 2 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.

Access to public transportation enables more opportunity and a better quality of life. I will make 4 phone calls and/or send 4 emails per day to public officials to advocate for a more comprehensive public transportation system in my region.

On Wed 19th April, I will attend Emerson's Global Earth Week Webinar to learn about the importance of individual action in our collective journey to sustainability.

I will sign up to the Sustainability Aficionados distribution list to receive global news on sustainability at Emerson, including world news and Greening OF, BY and WITH news.

I will take at least one of the Emerson Global Environmental Sustainability Training modules available on the Global Learning Center to learn more about this important topic for the company.

Each day, I will spend 10 minutes learning about these SDGs and talk with 10 people about what I learned.
