Transportation
Go for a Daily Walk
Walkable Cities
I will take a walk for 20 minutes each day and take note of the infrastructure that makes walking more or less enjoyable, accessible, and possible.
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
Smaller Portions
Reduced Food Waste
I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
Electricity
Learn More About Geothermal Energy
Geothermal Power
I will spend at least 5 minutes learning more about the energy generation potential of geothermal energy and consider investing in this technology.
Industry
Practice the 5 Rs
Recycling
I will practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.
Coastal, Ocean, and Engineered Sinks
Cook With Seaweed
Seaweed Farming
I will use seaweed in a new recipe.
Health and Education
Research Barriers to Participation and Representation
Family Planning and Education
I will spend at least 10 minutes learning more about the barriers to women's equal participation and representation around the world.
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
More Fruits And Veggies
I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 1 cups of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.
Buildings
Plan to Insulate
Insulation
I will spend 20 minutes finding out how to make my home more energy efficient through better insulation and weatherization.
Industry
Recycle Everything I Can
Recycling; Recycled Metals; Recycled Plastics
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, including electronics and metals.

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
