I will spend 30 minutes per day outside, practicing gratitude (prayer, meditation, journaling, etc.) for Earth and my natural surroundings.

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

I will find out what food programs are in my area and donate food and/or other items that they request.

I will reduce food waste and save money by prepping for 2 meal(s) each day, only buying the ingredients I need.

I will make sure I’m registered to vote. While I’m at it, I’ll sign up to help others register too!

I will replace 6 incandescent lightbulbs with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

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