I will spend 60 minutes unsubscribing from unnecessary email lists and deleting old emails to reduce digital storage.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will spend 30 minutes organizing and deleting unneeded files on my desktop and downloads folder.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about nonprofits in my area that tackle sustainability and waste challenges that I could get involved with.

A clean community benefits everyone. Each day I am outside, I will pick up 2 pieces of litter daily to keep my community clean and share what I find in the event feed.

I will shorten my showers to 5 minutes to save water and reduce energy use - each time saving up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water!

Having reusables ready and integrated into my daily routine can help to avoid single-use plastic while out and about. I will put together a kit with items like a mug, water bottle, utensils, or tote bag to take with me when I leave the house.

Too much artificial light can confuse and harm animals, especially those active at night. I will reduce lighting at night or switch to wildlife-friendly fixtures to support healthy habitats.
