I will replace or remove products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

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

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.
