Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

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

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

I will shop at a farmers market or food co-op to support local farmers and businesses. By doing so, I may be able to learn more about who produces the food I eat and goods I buy.

Effectively working for sustainability requires self care! I will commit to getting 30 more minute(s) of sleep each night to achieve at least 7 hours per night.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will complete an online energy audit of my home, office, or dorm room and identify my next steps for saving energy.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minutes each day to reflect on things important to me.

I will take a walk each day.
