I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water each day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will spend 20 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 15 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will work from home 2 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 30 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.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will watch 1 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will commute by bike 9 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 4.19 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
