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

I will refrain from buying anything throughout the month (other than what is needed for health and safety) and instead live with what I have or learn about Buy Nothing groups in my area.

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

I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.

Not only do indoor plants enhance the overall appearance of a space, but they've been shown to boost moods, increase creativity, reduce stress, and eliminate air pollutants—making for a healthier, happier you.

Individual actions are important, but people and organizations working together can make a real impact. I will share a carbon calculator with a friend and invite them to calculate the carbon footprint of their household.

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

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

I will calculate my Water Footprint to learn about my tap water use and "virtual water" use.
