I will replace 10 minute(s) each day typically spent inside (computer time, watching television, etc.) with quality time outside.

Exercise is a great stress blaster! I will exercise for 45 minute(s) each day.

I will eat all of my meals without distractions, e.g., phone, computer, TV, or newspaper.

I will fix faucets or report leaky faucets to facilities that have been wasting up to 9 gallons (34 L) of water a day or 270 (1,020 L) gallons of water a month per faucet.

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

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 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 spend 20 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

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

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will spend 60 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will create a rain garden or bioswale or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce fruit. I will spend 40 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard or local community garden.
