"to walk humbly on the earth and without harm to our great Mother"
I will connect with a local nonprofit, environmental or otherwise, and find out how I can get involved or become a member.
I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.
I will spend 5 minutes learning about the perils of fast fashion and will buy my clothes at second-hand stores when I shop.
I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.
I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.
I will replace 40 minute(s) of screen time each day with other activities.
I will avoid buying toxic plastics - including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl - and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.
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 de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.
