Michele Stillinger

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

Educate my students on water resource issues, impacts of water use, groundwater resources, and things they can do to reduce their consumption.

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

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

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will replace 15 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

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

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

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 each day that I do this.

I will spend 30 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 20 minute(s) each day.

I will eat a heart healthy diet by adding 2 cup(s) of fruits and vegetables each day to achieve at least 4 cups per day.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will find out who in my state makes decisions that impact the environment and express my support for more environmental actions.
