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

I will enjoy 3 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

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

I will join an outdoor restoration project in my community.

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

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

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.

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

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of C02 over the course of the next year.

I will join my neighborhood association or another local group.

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