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

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.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 5 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

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

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

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.

I will take a 45 minutes-minute walk outside each day.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 2 minute(s) each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will sign up for a car-sharing service, or organize car sharing with my neighbors, to cut down on the number of vehicles on the road.

I will walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 0.65 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
