I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips.

I have started to volunteer at my local spca again. Goal is 1-2 hours per week and I choose this because I love animals, and want to give back and meet new people.

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

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will spend at least 5 minutes finding out what local laws, policies, and practices keep people from voting in my community.

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

I will use the resource links provided and spend 5 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 spend 5 minutes learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution opportunities in my own community or state.

I will spend 3 minutes learning about the experiences of trans, femme, and/or nonbinary people.
