I will tend to a garden, or prepare for one, each day using sustainable gardening practices.

I will spend 10 minutes each day maintaining a record of all my purchases and learning about my spending habits.

I will calculate my digital carbon footprint and take steps to reduce my CO2 emissions.

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

I will work from home 1 days to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about local or national energy issues that will be on the voting ballot this fall.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about constructive communication.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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

I will save up to 6 gallons (23 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.
