I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will walk 1 mile(s) each day instead of driving and avoid sending up to 1.05 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will spend at least 30 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 replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one.

I will work from home 4 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

I will use the 'Learn More' resources below to find where I can forage for my own food locally.

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

I will create a rain garden or bioswale, or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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

I will spend 30 minutes researching toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

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