Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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

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 how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will give 1 microloan(s) to women who need help starting a business.

I will spend at least 15 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will replace or remove from my current diet the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will only purchase wood and paper products from ecologically certified sources like Forest Stewardship Council.

I will volunteer 2 hours with a wetland restoration project in my region.

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