I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my friends or family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

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

I will take a 30-minute walk outside each day.

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

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

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 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 10 minutes learning more about renewable energy alternatives (i.e. solar, wind, biomass) in my region.

I will upgrade the windows or weatherstripping in my home or office to reduce air leaks and save on energy costs.

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

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