I am really concerned about the impact of rising ocean temperatures and plastics on whales, sea turtles, and other ocean mammals.

I will spend 10 minute(s) learning about biochar and how it can help sequester carbon.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

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

I will calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce my negative impact on the environment.

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

Through social media, I will raise awareness about gender inequity in education by sharing the information found in the links below.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching other Drawdown Electricity Solutions.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will assess the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on electric and fuel-efficient vehicles

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching cement alternatives that reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and BIPOC-majority neighborhoods. I will avoid buying and using 2 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.
