I will source 75 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will spend at least 25 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will spend 60 minutes researching businesses owned by women, immigrants, and Black, Indigenous, and people of color that I can support when shopping.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching heat pumps to see if installing one makes sense for my home/building.

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

I will take a walk for 30 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.

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 connect with a local nonprofit working on issues affecting women, girls, and/or trans and nonbinary people in my community, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

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