Pete McLaughlin

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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

I will sign up for a local CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture).

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

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

I will take a 25-minute walk outside each day.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 25 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

Whether it's by donating or volunteering, I will research the benefits of low-income solar and find out how I can support low-income solar initiatives in my area.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

I will practice the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will spend 15 minute(s) each day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and the nature surrounding me.
