I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.

I will take a walk for 60 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

I will spend 20 minutes researching the environmental benefits of peatlands and what is being done around the world to conserve and restore them.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of biomass.

I will spend 30 minute(s) learning about the climate impact of refrigerants and what climate-friendly refrigerants are by using the links below.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.

I will spend at least 10 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will spend at least 15 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

I will watch a video about methane digesters (also commonly known as anaerobic digesters).
