I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

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.

If buying a plane ticket, I will also buy a carbon offset.

I will sign up for my utility company's clean/renewable energy option.

I will make an appointment for my annual physical.

I will spend 10 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.

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

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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 collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
