I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 30 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) 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 write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 5 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will spend 10 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

I will take a 10-minute walk outside each day.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.
