Thomas Poston

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

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

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will spend 90 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

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