I will replace 5 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will walk 2 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 1.86 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

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

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

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