I will spend 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness.

I will replace 30 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.

It does not take more time for feeding animals/birds and leaving water for them in small container in our terrace. Like we struggle during summers, they also do.

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

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 mend clothing for myself, family or friends.

I spend 60 minutes analyzing my recent utility bills, which might include electricity, gas, or water to see what my current usage is and determine if I can reduce my energy and water use.

I will make a few homemade cleaning products.

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 watch 2 documentaries about climate change.

During the workday, I will schedule time for daily breaks during work days to practice work-life balance.

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