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

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) 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 replace 1 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will spend 10 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.
