I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.
I will install a greywater catchment system in my home.
I will spend at least 120 minutes assessing the vehicles used by my company or college and advocate for a purchasing policy focused on fuel-efficient vehicles.
I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.
I will adopt a diet free of refined sugars, which eliminates sweetened beverages, candy, and processed foods.
I will walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 1.61 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.
