I will spend 20 minutes unsubscribing from unnecessary email lists and deleting old emails to reduce digital storage.

I will spend 60 minutes organizing and deleting unneeded files on my desktop and downloads folder.

I will turn off lights, electronics, and appliances when not in use to save energy.

Reusables only help if we use them! I will set up a system that helps me remember my reusable bags, bottles, containers, or utensils — whether that means keeping them by the door, in my car, or in my bag.

Bees and other pollinators are vital to ecosystems and agriculture. I will spend 20 minutes learning how to support local pollinators and take at least one action—such as planting native flowers or avoiding pesticides—to help sustain resilient ecosystems and harvests.

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

Donating gently used goods not only prevents waste but also strengthens social safety nets. I will donate items at least 1 times through a local shop or drop box in the next two weeks instead of throwing them away.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about nonprofits in my area that tackle sustainability and waste challenges that I could get involved with.
