I will spend 10 minutes each day trying out climate anxiety resources that support mental and psychological well being.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 60 minutes each day.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about local or national energy issues that will be on the voting ballot this fall.

I will spend 15 minutes reading the Ecochallenge feed each day and giving high fives or commenting on posts by people who I don't know, but whose content inspires or interests me.

I will spend 15 minutes learning how conflict between people impacts people + planet.

I will practice actively listening to a friend, family member, co-worker, acquaintance, or someone who I may disagree with in at least 1 conversations.

I will spend 15 minutes researching environmental justice and environmental racism concerns in my region, who is affected by them, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
