I will spend at least 7 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

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

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by keeping my showers under 5 minutes.

I will disconnect from my email when not at school or work.

I will keep lights, electronics and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will visit the Eco-Corridor for a self-guided tour between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to slow down, destress, and engage in mindfulness stations.

I will shop from women-owned businesses today.

I will use the resource links and spend 10 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.
