I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will have a group garage sale with friends, family, and/or neighbors.

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

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 avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

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

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 2 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend 5 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will replace inefficient heating and cooling units.

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