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 improve a bus stop in my neighborhood by posting the stop schedule, adding seating or shelter, adding art or flowers, picking up litter, or some other small improvement.

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

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will explore at least one new hiking trail or nature walk in my area.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will save up to 12 gallons (45 L) of water a day by flushing only when necessary.

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

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 60 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.
