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

I will work from home 2 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

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

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 30 minute(s) each day.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will take a walk outside for 10 minutes each day.

I will not work more than 8 hour days each day to practice work-life balance.

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

I will spend 10 minutes practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation to nurture love and compassion for myself and others.

I will naturally heat and cool my house, office, or dorm room by opening or closing my windows, curtains, and blinds, and by using fans.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

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