I will spend 15 minutes learning about local or national energy issues that will be on the voting ballot this fall.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.

I will call or write 4 public officials per day to advocate for more green spaces around my town, particularly in neighborhoods that currently lack equitable access to green spaces.

I will watch 1 documentaries about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

Using the links provided below, I will research impact investing and determine if it is right for me.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will repair at least one item that is broken, but is repairable. This might be items like garden tools, sewing machine, small appliances, electronics, clothing, and more.

I will find out what stocks and bonds are in my investment account portfolio to determine if they align with my values (e.g. environmental, social responsibility, community).

I will spend 15 minutes per day finding out what sustainability and nature-related legislation is on local and state ballots this year.

I will spend at least 10 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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